I work at napa or I probably would have gone to o'reillys

Overall, I've been pretty pleased with felpro gaskets in general, although the fit sometimes leaves something to be desired. I've had the valve cover gaskets for probably 500 miles, and just took them off for the 2nd time and they are lookin like new and still very flexible.

I just did mine yesterday with Fel-Pro ones. Looked just like the stock ones. Dunno on the cost, they came with the truck.
