Eric: Not "supposedly" they're much smoother :)

I went for 5 thou with coatings and it's fine!

Jake: Nope linkage please!

Cos they don't love you and wanted Liam instead! (Liam was the good looking baby in the next crib) ;) <jk>

Justin: If they're being lazy and doing their setup with the block sitting on the pan rails I can see it being an issue. It "should" be set on the main tunnels for an accurate job.

"No it takes the focus off your ugly head"

LMAO Grim! I bet Porter Gump will do it his way no matter what's written! I think he thinks I'm telling him bullshit for some bizarre reason! If nothing else it's entertaining reading his "insights" into the inner workings of the 7M! ;)

bugger :( Can't understand why they can't cut the case at the same time though?

LOL ;)

Sometimes the outer ring of the crank damper slips giving a false TDC as well.

No other shops at all?

as you change directions you have to apply uneven pressure to it Justin! I'm not trying to rain on your parade here but if it were me I'd take it to another shop tell them it has to be as smooth as possible make sure they understand this 100% and have it and the cover cut at the same time...

It's just human physiology Justin you can't get even pressure no matter how hard you try and with a MHG Flat is as important as Smooth.

Brent: Lapping should only be taking the highs off and not changing the height at all, in Justin's case he's trying to remove material to get rid of pitts and I bet while it's smooth it's not flat anymore :(

Lay a precision straight edge on it before you go any further Justin :(

Justin: You do realise now you've built in a BHG at the timing case as it will be higher than the block! :( Lapping is just for surface smoothness NOT to remove pitting that's what the cutters at the machine shop are for.

was probably more like 185 psi....... I run 90 at high rpm.

cass: Keep in mind the CPS will move as you insert it due to the helical gear. You may need to push it in slightly until it just engages then pull it back a touch turn the shaft back 1 tooth then push it in.

Congrats now you can say "Who's your Daddy" and not sound like an old perve" ;)

Brent: Bastard ya made me LOL for real here ! :D
