lapping removes the little groove at the 3 and 9 o clock positions that comes from corner and side seal wear . . . I don't know of any shops that do it.

Also Rotorsports Racing in Kannapolis, NC (30 miles north of Charlotte) does the lapping on rebuilds. They rebuilt mine last summer and it is great.
