[QUOTE="craig, post: 138885, member: 1959"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210513_HeadLapToday1.jpg"]41945[/ATTACH] Is there a [B]video[/B] of some competent Vincent mechanic lapping the heads in to the barrels. Description of the exact brand name and grade of compound used , application technique, etc. Then a show of how you hold the barrel and head and apply pressure and twist. Then a clean up and inspection and possibly reapplication. I realize these bikes are quite new and maybe we haven't had the time or need for this. Thanks Craig The machine work was done 7, 8 years ago , i didnt like my current measurements on fit up altho they seemed close, so this is a follow up by me . Should i just chuck these heads up in a lathe and make sure i have couple thou clearance head to muff? [/QUOTE]
