He said he thought it might have been from too much heat when the steel strut was welded together. I will talk to him more about when he get's done with the blast plate.

So the bore warped/oval'd when it was welded, not from some odd side load or vibration or something like that. He thinks it was like that from day-one, right? Just being curious, is all.
