Welded? The bridge port cracked or something? I have had 2 separate issues with this same problem, and the welds still re-cracked almost immediately. I really dont think the welding thing is effective in any kind of permanent way.

Sad to say, I also had one issue with a cylinder plated by US Chrome. The first one I had replated did the same thing yours did. If they chamfer the top of the cylinder bore well, it helps prevent this.

I havent had any plating issues with the overbore cylinders, though. And all Eric Gorr's plating is done by US Chrome.
