If it meshes OK, why not? Your 9451 servo will just be faster but at a slightly lower torque ! That's my guess anyway !

Also, my 705 looks like SHIT everytime after running... I think it leaks between the engine and the manifold... (that plastic gasket is crap!) Anyway, is there a way to make the gasket more full proof?
Shit as in dirty with oil? What pipe / manifold are you using? What silicone gasket are you using? There are some that will provide a good and tight connection. Some will give very loose connection and sealing.
