Not a good answer. There are 4 mounting holes for a reason. Anytime you mount corner to corner you should use 4 bolts. If you mount in the center of the block you only need 2 bolts. I spent a week testing this very subject just to prove the engineering behind it. My die simulator has a thermometer that has the resolution to pick up variations in mounting pressures AS I apply the load. It is pretty cool, keeps me entertained for hours! But anyway you have to use the 4 bolts on blocks designed for corner to corner mounting. It is the only way to keep the block leveled properly and to apply proper uniform pressure. Especially with CPU's with IHS's. Different blocks will react differently to only using 2 bolts on a 4 bolt pattern. That is another reason why you mount the block at least 6 times aswell.
Your better off taking your beating here and listening to what your being told here. You have what looks like a nice block from the pics. Just get it tested right and you will not have to go through this grilling. I am not at all sure why you even bothered testing it yourself being your not even prepared to manufacture and sell the block yet.
But anyway, hang in there and keep working on it.
