Head Lap

Lapping cylinders to each head bore

Nice

Of all the build videos I've watched, I have never seen anyone do this. Well, if it works for valves, I guess it should work for cylinders.

[@MrTodo6969]

Do you have to do this if you removed the head, and simply torquing back on? Thanks

[@mrvolkswagen3362]

Yes

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

buttons? that can start some conversation vwdarin has a video where he takes an engine apart that has the buttons and they left huge wear groves in the cylinders I put them in my last build so i guess I'll find out. Do you drill your buttons?

[@peteredge7798]

I wouldn't use buttons, also I didn't notice in this video which grade paste he used, only use fine !

I have grinding compound that goes from 120 to 180 to 220. Is that good or too coarse?

[@mrvolkswagen3362]

180

[@gordonmack9948]

What grade lapping compound are you using please

[@gordonmack9948]
