I bought it from Mcmaster Carr..they are located in La..and ship overnight.
Go on their website and do a search for lapping plate.
My employer has an account with them so I just called and ordered it myself. I will pay it when the invoice comes in like a month. Cost $166.67. Weight = 20 lbs...
Good stuff...
My 8" x 8" lapping plate just got in. One side grooved to remove material fast and the other side smooth for finer finish. Got my syrindge of diamond lapping paste ready. I will start on block tommorrow.
Pics of plate will come up tonite.

Its good that you are trying to help.
Just do research and do not believe everything that company tells you.
That is until they prove it works with our cars.
There are alot of experienced guys here you could talk to and they would probably give you a idea of what questions to ask the...
Notice that those SM owners with high hp 7ms like Duane and others did not jump onto the band wagon too soon. They all understand the importance of engine prep.
Reviews do not tell much. Most people do not take the time to write the reviews meaning alot of negative and even satisfied people...
Yes, this product would be great if it works well for the 7m reliably.
Remember HKS, Greddy and other gasket makers spend lots of time with R&D and experimentation. I think a new product like this should go through a lot of testing because replacing a head gasket is alot of money and time...
My bad...I did not read your post well..
You are right....and plus it wastes time and time is money.
I just noticed....you are the owner of Summit Import Perf.
I will order the plate tommorrow through work and get it on Friday.

Money and knowledge can easily make over 1000 hp 7m.
Money to buy you all the parts to get the job done.
Knowledge to understand how to make the parts achieve what you want.

The plate is already precision ground so it does not need to be machined.
The tolerance on the plate is .0005" which is more than enough.
It is specially designed plate for lapping and has the same specs as surface plate. The plate was most likely lapped on a surface plate. That is how they...
I am all for innovation...I hope this company does good because it will save me time from lapping my block n head.
But before people go diving in and believing everything they hear, they would hold back and let any company prove itself first with the 7m..Because it takes alot of work to redo...
I also read that post...but we all do not know much about this company.
We do know that many supra owners lapped their blocks and head and were successful and its been reccommended by the top guns of the supra community.

I have to lap my block and head after its been machined.
I could buy this precision cast iron lapping plate for $166.
It is 8" x 8" and weighs 20 lbs.
I already bought the diamond lapping compound.
What do u guys think?

Best thing is to get a job...
You will meet new friends at work and you could go out with them and do stuff. Or if there is something you ever wanted to study, you could study it at a local college....you will make friends in college...
My boss is 80 years old and alone but he remembers...
I took the head in today to the machine shop.
Real friendly guys who know what they are doing.
For $300 they will :
1/. Remachine deck to right finish on CBN machine for HKS metal head gasket.
2/. Regrind valves, valve seats. (valves were leaking)
3/. Install new valve guides
4/...
I havent been given a pay rise in 2 years but I have been given alot more responsibility...I dont complain about money to my employer...All the other workers seem to be bitching about money all the time.
The way I see it, it is good to be given a pay rise but I will not beg for one.
I have...
