This thread has made me nervous
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...=ST&f=2&t=33950

I have my engine ready to pull in the morning to do top end rebuild and after reading this thread about lapping the cyl to the heads I am getting worried.

I am having my heads re-built and buying new P&C's. What is the proper method when bolting the heads back on? Use seals or lap them. I have no idea how to lap somthing properly except my wife (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/grouphug.gif) so what do I do? I watched Jake's type IV teardown and assembly and he made mention of not using the seals because of the buliten but didn't say anything about lapping either.

I am tempted to take my pulled engine down to my local VW shop and having them do all the work because I am scared LOL

would one use machinest's dye on both the head and the cly seating surfaces? when the dye is gone from both items you are assured the faces are dead on?
