Default Block Grout?

I was having a debate the other day with a friend of mine with a machine shop about when to add grout to the block.

Before machining?
My theory is that deck plates should be installed and then the grout installed and allowed to cure before machine work, boring, honing, etc....
To me it only makes sense that if deck plates are installed after the grout process the cylinder walls would pull away from the grout when torqued. Defeating the purpose of the grout all together.

After machining?
He thought it should be done after ward.

What are your thoughts :?:
