Probably your best option. Might be well though to do something to make sure its not still rusting down at the bottom of those pits. There've been lots of recipes posted here over the years to accomplish that. Easiest may be naval jelly swabbed down the bores left a while to act, and then a thorough power brushing with steel wool over a bronze brush to burnish and brighten things up...Geo
