Yup. Have to purge it tomorrow. The alternative is a new tube.

Won't be too bad. Grind/gouge old weld off, reweld all the way around. It's only the weld for the port, doesn't look like the tube is split.
Youre plannng on disassembling the cyl before welding?

I've done many cracked cylinders. I will do it assembled. Just have to remove HYD oil and sterilise the crack.
