Hi dawesy Maybe a little late, but I have seen my friend lap his 4AG turbo motor block using a ADE engine cast iron cylinder head as a lap, the engine was removed and stripped to prevent the paste from going between the pistons and sleeves and some serious scrubbing and high pressure cleaning was necessary after the lapping was complete to remove the remaining paste. It is definitely the way to go if you want to eliminate head gasket leakage and ensure a perfectly flat surface but it is a very slow process and believe me hard work as well. It is doable but a lot of work and I will not recommend doing it with the engine in place as the crap will enter every oil and cooling channel on the block deck and run down the sleeves, so the engine will require thorough cleaning from inside. Good luck anyway. Best Regards B. |
