So, I've been reading here that head gaskets are a thing of the past, I guess lapping is in. That said...I pulled the heads off a few weeks ago and sent them out for a rebuild. It had head gaskets on it.
Whats the process for lapping cylinders to heads? Do I pull the cylinders/pistons off the rods as a whole to preserve the rings? Toss the rings and rering too? I did a compression test recently with good results, 135-140-140-138. I was just going to replace pushrod tube seals...this is getting out of hand. What would you do?
