Here are some pics of me getting the main caps ready for align hone. First I glass bead blast them to get them really clean. Then I deburr the front face of the cap on some sandpaper on the granite slab. Then I deburr the caps mating surface.

Then I grind the front face of the cap perpendicular to the mating surface. This is done so the mating surface can be cut without ending up with a bunch of taper in the housing bore. You'll notice that in the fourth picture, the main cap in the center of the photo only cleaned up in patch's across the front face. Look at it again in the next post. This cap was not cut flat at all from the factory. If I were to just cut the mating surface without cutting this first, that housing bore would have a ton of taper in it and it would be hard to hone out without honing an excessive amount.
