Milling surface for oil galley plug

As I mentioned earlier in the Blog one of the oil galley plugs near the spark plug was leaking. I managed to retract the old screw and instead of just mounting a new plug in the same way as the old I decided to change the design to hopefulle get better sealing function. My idea was to mill a flat surface around the hole and use a screw with a crush washer for sealing.

It took me a couple of hours to finish the job and most of the time I spent finding a suitable way to clamp the cylinder head. Once it was in position it took about 15 minutes to do the actual milling.
