I lapped my copper top maze 3 last night, it was pretty flat to begin with. THe maze 3 is in the system now, but it is bleeding, I used some stuff in the H20 I have never used before, called Hy-per Lube. Same claims as purple ice and water wetter, but it is neon green, kinda cool. Anyway, I think Fragn'stein uses it. I must of put too much in, this stuff foams like a rabid dog. So back on topic, I decided to lap my TC-4 while I'm waiting for the system to bleed, and it needed it BAD!!! It is pretty concave right in the center of the block -----> NOTE to self - ALWAYS lap blocks before installing. Funny thing is, I was getting a good imprint of the core on the base of the TC-4 and I got really good temps. Hmmm, wonder how much, if any, better temps will be now that it is properly lapped.
