What do I do with Story&Clark/Yamaha 158 grand?

[Farrell]

Well, I must admit that I have never worked on a block after it had been CAed. BUT, being  that the CA just simply solidifies, I can't for the life of me imagine that repinning would be affected at all - especially if you went up two pin sizes and did a little reaming - but again, I have never done that (although I would maintain that I would be 99% confident that it would not harm anything - and hence, the "can't hurt" statement).

Anyone out there ever repinned a previously CAed block?
