OK, got it align honed, and decked. Here are some pics.
Block in align hone cabinet.
Cleaned all the threads out with a thread file[chaser], not a tap. Taps remove metal, and make it more likely to pull threads later on. I avoid running taps through them except to bottom tap for studs.
Filed all the burrs off the pan rail and main cap registers.
Then I knock the burrs off of both sides of the main caps.
As well as the parting line face.
Then I cut the front side of each cap to establish a 90° angle from the parting face, so the parting face can be cut without influencing taper into the bore area.
