ill be inserting nylon bolts in the 4 holes at each corner of my pcb to mount DD water block.
1 or 2 of the 4 holes is smaller than the others.
can i enlarge these 2 slightly since there are no metal traces in the area to be enlarged?
thanx

I would say just a fuzz but be careful. You may just want to get some narrower bolts instead.

I wouldn't risk it. Booards are multi-layered so even if you don't see any traces that doesn't mean it's safe. Just get the next size smaller bolts.
