I got a $10 valve cover gasket off of e-bay from Mizumo Auto. Great price, but grommet holes were too small for the bolts and the rubber seemed kind of hard. Threw it out and got a Fel-pro. Rubber quality much more springy, and spark plug hole gasket seem slightly thicker, maybe one mm. It also included two sets of grommets with different holes sizes. FYI for anyone else temped to save $15. In this case, I think you get what you pay for.

Good to know.
Pretty ridiculous that some companies can't even make a proper gasket.

Sometimes you DO get what you pay for. Don't skimp on gaskets, leaks suck. Especially leaks that come after you put something all back together.
