Well I suppose the worst happened lol. The head is warped you can tell in the pictures maybe. I can see daylight under the straight edge so it is time to figure out first if the head is able to be planed, and secondly who to have do it.

 

No, the straight edge is not resting on the open valve as it may appear, and the gape is out of spec. So, I'm not just going by eye it has been measured.
