Justin,
If you ever do get that mill I have a project. A fellow over on the Airheads list had his valve covers modified and installed a 6m helicoil in the head and counterbored the covers 11mm to make for easier valve cover removal. seems with a few hardware bits and a jig someone could offer this as a "send me your covers") mod / kit for the price of ??
