Using a lapping table

DEA · Jul 29, 2002

The hydraulic repair shop I work at (new life after truck driving :D ) has a lapping table. What are the pro's/con's opposed to milling or lathe for a cyl.head(2 smoker) and other parts?would the head be to lite and bounce around on the table, or would it have to be weighted or not use the table at all?
Thanks
Doug

A surface plate or lapping table will work well to get a flat true surface on the cylinder head or the cases, but it's pretty difficult to remove enough material that way to change the squish clearance.

that ought to keep you occupied for a bit :) :)

If and when I have a very stubborn gasket to remove , I follow up most of the grunt removal with the "plate of glass and a sheet of emery cloth" trick when feasible. I am sure that lapping table would be awfully nice for that.
