My mantra that I repeat before I do anything is "OK now how can I screw this up". Really.
I'm visualizing #4 packed with light rope, with a TON (???) of torque applied, what's the weak link? I dunno, I've given it a lot of thought and can't come up with anything good. The head "squish" area is a little thin if it has been resurfaced a lot.
In any case, if it makes you feel better, everybody screws up sometimes, fewer admit it.
This definitely warrants pictures!
Hang in there,
Glen
