Here is my question, On the hellhole, how much pitting is ok? What should i do for this? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img3.imageshack.us-14565-1350783306.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/imageshack.us-14565-1350783306.2.jpg) And here is an overview of the lil darlin (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/imageshack.us-14565-1350783306.3.jpg) Thanks for any advice! -Eric |

I would be very tempted to leave that
That said I would run a drill through in a couple of places top and bottom and see how it was. Screwdriver test won't always tell you what's inside. Easy to plug weld a hole you drill |
