I fully understand there is a risk in changing it. But I believe, as does JCL, the risk is slight.
The part where JCL and I disagree is if the benefit outweighs the risk. JCL believes it does not (because, as far as I can tell he doesn't believe it offers any benefit). I believe it does. Though recently it appears as if JCL believes there is some benefit based on the following statement he made:
"Valve bodies don't typically fail in normal use, unless they get clogged."
Very likely a fluid flush would avoid the valve body becoming clogged. I'm still waiting for his response to this.

But you really need to read his words to understand the "grayness" of the area. I'd offer to e-mail you my copy, but it appears even the 07/09 revision is now out of date, and he seems concerned about old versions circulating on the net.

And we can see why as someone was using an outdated copy to support this urban legend.
