Decking the block is where the top surface of the block (where the head gasket sits) is machined flat, just like the head. This will require complete dismantling of the engine so the engine machinist can work on a bare block. The actual machining costs the same amount, but clearly there is a large component of labour involved with dismantling the engine (which you can save if you do it yourself). That said, it is worth doing if you are interested in longevity/reliability, particularly in non standard applications. Often this step is missed (for obvious reasons), resulting in recurrence of the BHG problem.
Personally if I were pulling it apart, I'd check tolerances and consider freshening it up with new bearings and rings. So either way you won't get out of it ultra cheaply.
Cheers Dave.
