I've been of the opinion for decades that lapping valves/seats is an

reconditioned/modified properly, and lapping if carried to extremes, can
actually be harmful.

Bob,

Should we conclude that these companies found here:

Believe what is written in your link:

I guess Bob feels he doesn't have to respond and clarify his position.
Probably too busy with gossip.

Jon:

I didn't think it really required a response. The Serdi link *I* posted said: "Grinding and Lapping Eliminated by the Serdi System Equipment!"

Then what you did was post a list of head shops that USE the Serdi System that eliminates grinding & lapping.
