Hi all:

I know I've heard mention of lapping the cylinders into the heads they're
going to "live" in as part of the engine rebuilding/assembly process.  I
even thought I remember Bob Hoover mentioning it in his Sermons, though I
can't seem to find any reference to that process there.

Anyway, does anybody have any strong opinions pro or con about this process?
I take it it's simply a matter of putting a small amount of valve lapping
compound on the top of the cylinder and then gently rotating the cylinder
back and forth in its head?

TIA.
