whats the best affordable valve cover gaskets? 93 N/A

I like the rubber gaskets with metal rings at the bolt holes (Victor Reinz/Felpro). I don't like the cork gaskets personally, they can be a real PITA to get off and make a mess. I put a thin layer of silicone on the edges of the gasket before install. Don't over tighten the bolts either, it can distort the gasket and cause leaks.
