I was not planning too, but Summit sent me a "B" pan instead of a "RB" pan and I was planning to get the 440 running this weekend. Seems all the parts stores in my area do not have an "RB" one. So.. do you think I could use the old one or just wait till I can get a new one. Thanks.

Like Doc said, as long as it's going back on the same heads and block, then I'd reuse it. I've done it MANY times. CHIP
