Clone block mill angle fixture

If you are looking to just deck the block, the angle plate works really good and quick once you have done it a few times. If you are looking to align bore the you need a fixture that allows a dummy shaft fixture on the table to simulate the crankshaft. Then the tedious task of truing the cylinder to the mill begins and that is where the money comes in!!!!!
 
Al the two bearing pockets would have been bored separately at the factory while the side cover was off. Now to align them I would like to have the side cover securely fastened on, this encloses the pockets and makes it very difficult to access them.
 
I don't understand the 'advantage' of using a rotary table in this task....please explain. With my jig plate/angle block process, I can 'true' the bore and cut the deck in about 30 minutes. A rotary table just 'sounds like' extra baggage to me.
What does your jig look like I’m interested in building one to allow me to align bore clones and press
