[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 107765, member: 3426"] Before folks start retching over this setup, it was only used to trim off the portion of the guide that was protruding into the port. It was beat up and mushroomed over slightly. Given there was no other damage, I assume some freak tried to beat the guide out without removing the lock ring. Unfortunately the photo does't show the jig that screws into the inspection cap hole and holds the head. It sounds like you have it figured out, but I'm betting Dan Smith has a jig for holding the heads while truing up the head/barrel mating surface. I only know this by the look he gave me when I mentioned lapping the surfaces. Off topic sort of... but when trying to hold impossible things in the mill or the lathe, don't forget Cerrobend.
