Yes... I first ran into this on Bettles but it is a growing problem on our
watercooled loved ones. 

I've had to drill those pins out and it's not fun. I had to purchase titanium
drill bits to drill the pin then had to make a new pin on the lathe to fit.
Unfortunatly no one that I know of makes a pin yet for the watercooled. Now
Bettles are a differant story.
