  It is my opinion that you cannot permanently fix a cracked pin block. =
You can slow it down, and you can temporarily keep the pins from =
slipping. But the only permanent solution to a cracked pinblock is a new =
one. The only exception to that is if you epoxy the entire block. But =
that procedure should only be done in extreme situations, like a =
