Lapping Reed Cages
Do i lap my merc 5 petal reed cages in a circular motion or back and forth or does it even matter...

Rub in a Figure 8 motion on a 12”x12”x1/4”
sheet of glass , first clean cage and spray surface to be lapped with machinist lay out dye let it dry then rub on 220 wet and dry sandpaper till all dye is removed then go over it with 400 to give it a smoother texture ..

Smoother is best.... like J smith said....Holds oil better less slam when shut.... Rubber cages are good for idle.... but the reeds shatter....JMO......

A surface plate works great too.
I was a doofus and sold mine.
Will be replacing it soonI'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

I use a black granite honing stone , had it for years but for the average “Joe” just go to any hardware store ( Lowe’s , Home Depot) and buy a pane of glass ...When I worked at EXXON I used their zillion dollar Lap Master ...
