Alan,just unscrew the block segments ,take them to the drill pressand bore for 1/2 inch plugs and rebore. Install plugs and screw back in place. Easier said than done but a good option.</BLOCKQUOTE> >>>>>>Dale Erwin <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Always realize that if the pinblock has decent integrity (no gross delamination) plugging is always an option to consider (and IMHO a good option - especially when plugs are set in lots of thin epoxy - which can migrate into voids in the pinblock).
