The irreguler surface of the pins done with a roughing mill would tend to reduce flow, but would also offer more surface for better cooling.
Be interested in seeing the outcome regardless. And while your test bench isn't all you'd want for doing block testing to post reviews with, it's still better than what the vast majority are useing that ARE posting review articles now on the web! And it'll give you a start on doing comparison testing. That experiance may help you choose further improvements for your test bench.
Luck with the testing.

I can't find one small enough. Everywhere I looked the smallest one is 1/4". I seen a couple 1/8" but they don't have the right edges on them. I am still looking though.
My test bench failed me last night. One of the O-rings in the impellor housing on the pump decided to leak. Lost half the coolant (50/50 water anti freeze) all over the table top and the computer was shut off. Hopefully the overheat protection worked and shut it off. I didn't have enough time to check into this morning before I went to work. If it isn't fixable then I am down and out for a while. Don't have the cash right now to buy a new pump capable of using for testing. Will have to wait untill after New Years. If nothing else though this will give me time to get my thermal probes sorted out and calibrated. I spent the last 3 days testing that block and got no solid temps. I think the TC on the DMM might be wacked.
Lot of work to do...
