First milling machine

You're going to have to buy a lot of mill for doing cylinder heads, and then it will be seriously over specified for reaming valve guides.
I think it will be a long, long time before those 'light paying jobs' actually start showing a profit.

Not trying to be a wet blanket, but maybe you should rethink things a little.
There's a lot you can do with smaller 'hobby' machine, including hobbies! ;)

One very popular one is building working scale model engines of all sorts, and if you try that you'll quickly build an impressive skill set that can be used for many other projects.

I'm sure others will comment with more ideas.
