 Rick, Got it, I did not realize the material was not thick enough to loose that amount.  I thought the machinest simply did not remove enough material.  Hank

 Hank, My forward port (16") was about 3/16" too large in diameter because the machinist that made the receiver machined it wrong and I didn't catch it until it was already welded into the front elliptical head. and so I didn't want to cut it out and have it widened that much.I am still waiting to hear back from an annealing company after sending them the data sheet that I received from Sean and Cliff.

Rick, I just welded my forward port frame into my new diesel sub and it warped .008 inches.  I  decided the easiest way to fix this was to cut out the head 4 inches bigger that the port frame  (20 inches)  I took the assembly back to my lathe and machined it true.  Now I will simply weld the section back into the head and its all done.  A days work.  I am mentioning this as an option for you to avoid annealing your port.
