Hi,
I just wanted some thoughts on Cooler Lapping? [was not sure if it should be posted here or Systems builders!]
Does it make any real difference some sites same 1 degrees!!!!!
Before I spend hours polishing me bits lol

It depends entirely upon how unflat the heatsink is in the first place. That also goes for the CPU. I've personally seen it make anywhere between 10°C difference and no measurable difference on different systems. The ACF7Pro you're using is normally as flat as makes no serious difference, but you'll just have to suck it and see. 
Cheers, Slipstreem. 
System specs:
"Phoenix" / "The '43' Special" - 1.8GHz Intel C2D E4300 overclocked to 2.83GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (BIOS rev 2.10, VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 1GB Vitesta DDR500 RAM (2.5,3,3,7,1T @ DDR472MHz), Jetway ATI X1950Pro 256MB GDDR3 PCIe graphics card with modded AC Accelero X2 cooler dynamically overclocked to 650MHz GPU & 1.5GHz RAM. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

I agree with Slippy as far as your cooler is concerned. As far as your cpu is concerned I have never read of any concave (i.e. dished shaped) heatsinks on Q6600's. The problems were mainly with E4xxx ans E2xxx's. Overall I doubt that lapping would be worth the effort in your case.
