I’m sure this has been long discussed if lapping is needed. I just had hardened seats installed and valves ground. Personally I trust modern machining for a good seal. How many of you still lapped valves with hardened seats?

always a good idea to get a finish lap.. if nothing else, to CONFIRM it is correct..
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Can't hurt? When seats and valves are ground/cut correctly it's not needed.

HELL  NO !!     Ask yourself this: do you think GM or FORD for example take the time to "lap" valves and seats after their modern and expensive valve grinding equipment has just mass produced hundreds of cylinder heads a day ?????? NOPE.
