Hows she look? :D
I love the look of a freshly lapped IHS. I remember my 3-4c load temp drop when I lapped my 3000+ :)
:D Nice & clean work.........;)Quote:

very nice lapping :)
Thanks guys :D
The main reason it looks good is I took my time. I used a decent sized mirror and masking tape to secure the sandpaper. A bit of water helped it along.
I tried to only lapp it in an up and down motion, rotating 90* or 180* every 20 strokes or so. Each grade of sand paper (600, 800, 1000) took about 10 - 15 minutes I'd guess.
Once I was done I cleaned with rubbing alcohol and then rubbed it for a little with a microfibre cloth. The 1000 grade did most of the shining, as I could see my reflection before I had even cleaned.
In this image you can see a little bit of scratching, but I am pleased with the result:
