Also had a small crack in the head tube that needed attention, afterwards I saw the the crack was flashed out in the pics.
The crack opened up the bottom of the tube too the point the bottom bearing was sloppy.
I cut a small slice rite up the crack and filled it with with weld.
I used a u bolt and some washers too help pull the tube together and a shaped copper pipe too back up the weld with so there wasn't a whole lot clean up inside the tube.
This is a area I'm gonna keep a eye on, I have some pipe I couldve cut a short sleeve for over the tube but saved it in case it's a problem later down the road.
