your definately right; there are a lot of things to consider; the lapping of the waterblock...

We need to do like BillA on this issue, NO LAPPING should be performed by the WBTA ever! This is up to the mfgr's/DIY's to do and the blocks should be tested as they are received. I think the mounting force is easy to overcome, each bench will have the same springs and use the same amount of turns once the nuts contact the springs, like 12 full turns for example. The TIM application is another beast altogether but, maybe a specific technique can be 'standardized' and closely followed obviously all need to use the same paste.
