I just re read your initial post and saw the question about ethanol; my understanding is that though you may still have some issues with gumming if you do not drive it frequently, any new seals and gaskets used in a new kit should be okay with the use of ethanol. At least the low percentage stuff anyway. That being said, if I could find ethanol free gas, I would use it.
