Russ, that avatar might be over the edge, but I ain't reporting it
Anyway... about valve lapping.
I remember a few years back here on FTE, someone either asking about, or telling about, lapping valves, and a couple guys ganged on up the guy like crazy.
I myself said "why not?" - my machinist who taught me how to r&r heads (complete with putting seats in, cutting them, valve guides, porting, you name it), definitely lapped everything he did.
One big reason, it was obvious when you have a valve guide out of whack - the dull gray finish where the valve meets the seat obviously shows you seat width, full contact around the radius of the valve AND the seat, and hey - it helps seal them immediately instead of letting them beat the roughness off.
Well Art I'am Happy your not going to call the Dogs out on my avatar !! LOL... I think the guys like it so I'll keep it up for awhile..You know me ..I change all the time and have a bunch loaded...
But yeah I agree and so do alot of others I know in the field that are highly respected Builders and Porters that are High End guys... That have a few cans at an arms reach from the head bench's.... and the best way to get to pieces to mate! Is what ? Rub them together !! LOL..
I hope my wife doesnt read this ! She might get Jealous !! HaHa!!
