also what brands make it, and where can i get it? (local shop?)thx Scott
Hello Scott:
The brand I have available to me (down here) is VersaChem and comes in a blisterpak with two small tubes (coarse and fine). There is more than a single brand. As for availability, the store front that routinely sells it here is O'Reilly's Auto Parts...I don't have any idea who might carry it in Canada:S

Use it like sandpaper , start coarse and finish with fine .(yes I do know it gets finer with use)
I use 2 marks a lot markers RED for the seats and black for the valves to see what I'm doing .
Does anyone else use the fuel line on the valve stem trick instead of those dumb cup tools ?

Talk to me about this...I get the concept and I do own the 'lapping' tool. The special tool does work but it's kinda a pain to use.

Mark your valves and seats with markers .
Put on a dab of compound , drop in the valve .
Slip on a piece of fuel line onto the stem .
And do your lapping motion pulling DOWN with the line between your palms .
If you pull to hard the line pulls off the stem (safety)
You can do an 8 valve head in just minutes .
Plus , you can see what you are doing without that tool in the way .
