Hi guys
I have a 2002 viper cylinder that was ported and when it was sent back to me it was damaged,one of the intake skirts was broken,the piece is 17mm or 3/4 long,can this be welded and replated, I have also herd that I could just chop of the other skirt and it would be fine as long as it was the same size,if anybody has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks Steve

I wouldnt run it with it that short, while its true you can shorten them, theres a limit or you dont have any support for the piston skirt. It can be rewelded on and replated.
