Thanks, guys. But you notice that the finish is far from perfect? 
Actually I'm thinking about leaving all the aluminum parts raw, with welds and scratches and everything. Polishing is such a tiring job, I hate it! At the moment, I like the rough looks...

If the grooves are rough , easy fix.
 When milling, make a light climb cut both ways.
 That is move it a few thou, cut then move over the other way , just taking less than .1mm for finishing.
 Climb cutting, work is moving same direction as the cutter.. the cutter is trying to climb into the work.
 Great job on the sump.

Frank, I will try that! There again you can see that I'm no professional. Sadly, I have no one around who is a professional and could show me a trick or two. There is nothing better but experience. Please feel free to criticise what I do or suggest tricks, OK?
By the way, the rough surface of the sump should help transfering heat, shouldn't it?
