I am getting ready to install tube headers on my 250. I have read somewhere that you should replace the pilot pins at each end of the block with bolts.

How are those pins held in place? Pressed? Threads?

Are they open to the water jacket?

Has someone done this and can give some advice and/or pictures of the results?

Thanks for your help!
