Sounds like you have a slew of good info here and a few things thrown in for good measure also. I will do you one better and that is to also replace the thermostat and make sure the new one has a "Piddle valve" in the mounting flange or to at least drill a 1/16" hole in it. That valve, or hole, will allow any trapped air under the stat to escape and also will promote better engine thermodynamics. Your engine will not have to build an excessive amount of heat trying to open a thermostat. That small hole lets in enough heat to gradually open the stat instead of slamming open and the sudden rush of cold water into a near overheated engine. That reduction of temp spikes can also keep head gaskets alive longer. Good Luck!
