I second this opinion not from cub experience but what I have seen on the automotive side. Don't assume all rubber gaskets are the same. I have used some of the cheapo as cheap as you can get rubber gaskets for valve covers only to have them leak a year or two later. I am a fan of felpro gaskets always been quality and probably as good as you can get for many applications these days if OEM doesn't exist. They have many new gaskets as well that are upgrades. Huge fan of the one piece gasket for the oil pan of small block Chevys. Way better than the 4 piece OE deal.
