Though editing /etc/grub.conf with an editor and changing the default= 
line to match up to wherever your new kernel is located to would be the 
way to change it.

Also, if all goes well with the new kernel, uninstall the older kernel 
and see if the new kernel becomes default.

And my favorite way.

up2date system-config-boot

Then under the menu, choose system settings > bootloader (Enter 
password) and select the new kernel with the simple GUI interface.

Though this is a limited featured program, it is great for default 
settings and for adjusting the timeout, in a short amount of time and 
limited keystrokes.
