Paul, That is exactly what I did with the 400 in my 72 Fury Customer Suburban S/W, and what I will be doing once I start cleaning up under the bonnet. One thing I do additionally, I throughly clean the haed surfaces on which the gasket rests, AND THEN I clean the surface again with 91% ISO ALCOHOL. I always keep some 91% around for cleaning in general, being careful around some plastics.
