Just got my heads back from Rimco and bought a new set of Mahle p/c's. Do the cylinders still need to be lapped? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Yep, I made then take it off after 2 weeks because it started to smell like rotting meat. I think it got wet from being out in the rain. Once they got it off I talked the doctor into putting me in a cam walker that I can take off to shower and sleep.
