Great write-up. On replacing the pins - did you do this because you were worried about the threads or was there some other reason. Are the pins knurled or something? Would you worry about reusing them, that possibly they might not stay in the head?

I have a special tool for doing this (not cheap, but I considered failure to be more expensive and wanted to take no chances) so I don't expect to tear up the threads much.
