Near perfect head to block mating
Beter seal= more reliable & optimal performance
With today's light weight aluminum cylinder heads going into high tech, high performance, tight tolerance engines, manufacturers are demanding tighter flatnesses across both the length and width of the head sealing surface, along with a higher quality, more consistent surface finish. These factors are critical for a good seal whether using OEM or aftermarket gaskets. Our process yields consistent results meeting or exceeding most OEM specifications with superior flatness and finish. Lapping creates a random, non directional matte finish. This means no head milling or fly cutting ripples, ridges, tool marks, or deep scratches, or worse, belt sanding digs and uneven surfaces that have the potential to cause leaks and a repeated blown head gasket.
Head lapping is been used by many high end car manufacturers and performance engine rebuilders to create their superior gasketless sealing surface designed to withstand extreme engine stresses. Now this same technology can be applied to any engine head: small or large, old or new, import or domestic. Be it a motorcycle head, marine head, or small engine head. Now there is no need to worry if your newly resurfaced head is flat enough or if that weird machining mark is ok. Say goodbye to the old straight edge and flashlight test. The engine BLOCK flatness is now the weak point.
As with any engine work, mechanics' mistakes can be made. Scratches or dings in the head sealing surface can jeopardize the viability of the cylinder head. Automotive machine shop head milling can take days or even weeks, and for small defects can be overkill. Cylinder head lapping is quick, cost effective, and removes absolute minimum stock.
