That is what you are suppost to do for a metal head gasket, I didn't use a lapping tool, I used what my friend calls a whiz wheel to remove the old gasket material from the block. Its an air tool and it buffed the block surface pretty good, was hard to believe cast iron could look like that. Just check out the pics in my thread, I don't know what page, near the beginning because most of the time it took to put it back together was spent waiting cuz it was too cold outside to work on it.
