Use a circular pattern and check often to make sure you are pressing evenly.

You know I agree with you almost all the time but I have to disagree with use of plywood to resurface a head. I use a piece of 3/8" thick glass under the wet dry sand paper, plywood is just to irregular to get a good flat surface.

I like the glass under it too. I haven't used such a fine(600gr) sandpaper though, will try that.

I hung on to a cutoff when i put granite counters in my house. It's ground flat and works great for lapping heads.

My picture shows the glass window pane but I forgot to mention ( write ) it. I did edit my wording last night to include "window pane".

It is corrected now

Definitely used glass in the process. Back down in appomatox va but will run the 102 again some more this wknd. I was up in your neck of the woods last week in Lehigh valley, bushkill pa. Tore some brookies up on toms creek in the evenings, nice benefit of working up north. Anyways, I'm confident the repair is solid. Thanks

When installing the head bolts, should anti-seize be applied to them? If yes does that affect the torque setting?

Per the instructions that came with my head gasket set from Kohler, they said it isn't necessary to use new bolts and they don't include new bolts with the gasket kits anymore. This was a CH engine.

The engine in question at the beginning of this topic was a K series engine. As I stated earlier it is cheap insurance regardless what the instructions that came with your head gaskets kit.

OK, one more item not mentioned--chase the head bolt hole threads with a tap and clean out the debris before replacing the bolts/studs.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
