I searched "ca18de gasket". You can be sure that $17 isn't getting you a Felpro like suggested above. Save your pennies for a good one (Felpro) if you can, if not this one should work ok.

I've used cheaper gaskets and have had the excellent results. Doesn't necessarily have to be a Felpro to be durable. Felpro gaskets can blown relatively easily. Treat the cheaper gasket with some copper spray and don't over boost and detonate the engine, then you'll be just fine.
