AS5 Set Time

Shuzzy · Jun 2, 2004

Hey guys...
Could u give me some of your experiences with temp drops during the "set time" for as5.

I just lapped my hsf and reapplied as5. My temps are the same as before but i seem to recall my temps droping 3-4 degrees during my last as5 set period, so im hoping to gain about 2-3 degrees from the lapping.

Any thoughts or experiences would be great. :eh?:

i saw someone say 1-2 weeks. the articsilver website said 200 hours. at 24 hours a day this would take about 8 days or so.

It also says that you should power down for 8 hours a day and leave it running the other 16 hours. Its the change in temps that helps it set, not just the amount of time its running.

in that case it would take 12.5 days.

it's already making a difference, it's only been 1 day. looks like my lapping is going to be succesful.

it took me about 2 weeks or so maybe a little less.

AS needs a few "heat-cycles" to set in properly. So, running the comp 200 hours non-stop won't do the trick.
Some reviewers prime for half and hour, and let it cool (shut down) and prime again, for a few cycles thus.
