Title: Slight crack/chip on cylinder port bridge?
Post by: SweetTea on December 07, 2010, 02:53:10 PM

I didn't have this little crack/chip before I sent my cylinder to US Chrome, but it came back with it.  It just looks like where a little bit of the weld came off during the plating process.  This isn't a problem is it?  Otherwise the cylinder is beautiful.  They had to plate it twice.  The first time around was no good, they got a blister in the plating, so they had to strip it down a second time and re-do it.  Last pic is just the pretty plating :D 

Thanks again.

Just a small crack, more like a chip.
