e. When the part is flat, wash it in
cleaning solvent and dry it with
compressed air.
f. Place the dry part on the second
block. After applying lapping
powder, move part lightly across
the block in a figure eight motion
several times to give it a smooth
finish. Do not lap excessively.
Again wash the part in cleaning
solvent and dry with compressed air.
g. Place the dry part on the third
block. Do not use lapping powder
on this block. Keep the part flat
and move it across the block
several times, using the figure
eight motion. Lapping the dry part
in this manner gives it the "mirror"
finish required for perfect sealing.
h. Wash all of the lapped parts in
clean fuel oil and dry them with
compressed air.
