jim,
Are the faces then lapped?


No lapping is needed. The finish is very fine. I do touch up the edges with a deburring wheel after grinding. Jim
 
Jim surfaced Trixie Combat's scored lifter faces after a rod bolt failure put steel pieces in the way. I hand dressed high spots on cam lobes scrapes with a file to take my cheap chances to be very pleased not finding hardly any ferric dust on sump plug and on opening to re-ring 7-8000 miles later lifters anc lobes were even better polished all very even full contact sweep evidence. Then again I like wet sump starts and don't baby rpms on start up much but go straight above 2000ish.

Don't mix the pairs up.
