I heard recently that re-nitirding is not being recommended anymore by Lapco
as the outside vendor that did it for them is no longer satisfactory. There
is a place in NC that does nitriding but I have not sent them anything. Lapco
said that after nitriding the side housing has to be AGAIN lapped! It was
recommended to me to forget the re-nitirding and go with it as it is. Guess
it depends on how deep the original nitride was-most textbooks say not very
deep-

Marc Wiese 20B in something this way comes.....

I am not surprised. Things usually have to be finished ground after
heat treating. I am not sure about the nitriding temp but as I recall
it is only about 750 degrees F. That should not warp cast iron much.
I am sure I can find a place here in LA to do it.
