I didn't know about that step.  I assumed people used oversize pins to =
make up for existing loose pins, and just stuffed 'em in the old holes.

  Hi Cy.
  If you ream the holes to get new wood. How would that increase =
pressure, enough to damage the block?
  You would naturally use a reamer compatible with the size pin, you =
intend to put in

    Larger pins (lo-torque or otherwise) have to put more splitting =
pressure on the pinblock, possibly causing further damage.  Using =
same-size replacement pins and pre-treating the holes with CA might fill =
in some existing cracks and make the block stronger.  Would you swab the =
holes first and let it dry before driving in (or dropping in!) the pins, =
or do it in one go?

    Just guessing, here...

      Hello John and List
      The old pins are grotty, rusted and deformed and would not be =
worth preserving and re-bluing. Apart from which the old pins will have =
their scoring (the end part of the pin which is in the plank) filled =
with old wood particles and rust. The new pins will be chromed and =
indeed .. new. The object is to find out what your collective reaction =
is to CA-ing in new pins.
