One note I wanted to mention - I would have sworn the housing was in nice shape and not cracked. I had bead blasted it clean as a whistle and couldn't see a crack. When I had it magna fluxed- 3 cracks showed up. FYI - don't trust your eyes!!!

One thing yet, take the top reading now and by an equal amount of shims added to the two bolts, make top and bottom read the same as close as you can get. This will give the transmission a 4 point square area to bolt to.

Then leave it set for 24 hours, and touch up any warping changes, if any.
