[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1266692, member: 1521"] My reply about lapping stem advice in the current VLD thread: Be careful with a fit too perfect. This can lead to excess wedging contact up & down the nose, with varying seating forces. This is also the reason you don't want seater stem datums near land contact datums. The angles would be too shallow for the stem to dig into grip. Either causing inconsistent CBTOs. Believe me, there is a very good reason seater stems contact low on the nose and at angles differing from most ogive profiles. Just look at the angles & reason through it. [/QUOTE]
