As you noted, getting the inside smooth again will not be an easy task. The thing is, even if you did have to get in there and tidy up metal that has created a bump inside when welding up the crack, it may not be a deal breaker.On a regular cylinder, you woulnd't be using it at full extension, but if you are talking about the swing cylinder, any by-pass you get, i think will leak out of it's the type of cylinder i'm thinging of (the same style as the old hoe i have). If it's double acting, it will just by-pass a little internally.</blockquote>
