If you are thinking of doing this pre-emptively for reliability, just disable the valve. I removed the vaccum hose form the solenoid and plugged it... so far it has been perfect. With the valve not actuating, I suspect it should not fail. The problem is, this valve is very rarely actuated...so it sits, the o-rings get some build up on them..and then when it actuates the o-rings get dragged over razor sharp buildup. Diabling it takes no time at all... you need a 3mm female vacuum plug.. and about 40 seconds of time.
