Consistency?  I'd think that though the pins are loose, they are likely not 
loose uniformly.  Why not ream (the least manageable amount) the block to a 
specific size and have pins of (nearly) uniform torque when you are done? 
This is not rhetorical, BTW.  I acknowledge that I may be missing something 
here.....  .
