Warped Block ?

I have my truck at the shop, fixing the water pump, They are telling me the block could be warped and are having issues trying to bolt the new pump back on. Anyone else have this problem?

new BAD parts can happen. I was once a pimpley faced teenager (don't tell anyone) and have improperly installed new parts. Can you throw a flag and try a 1st and 10 again?(Football must be round the corner, {Hail to the Redskins})!
