The inside is good. The only thing that needs grinding is the mating surface of the flange you see. It has to be flat, or it won't seal against the head. But I will "clean" up the welds just a bit. Then I'll hight temp coat the assembly.

You better believe it!!!!!!!!

Almost half my tools originate from that place.

Pittsburgh tools are not that bad. But definately worth the lifetime warranty.
