I'm going to back up the general advice to use Fel Pro. Often you will see a "major name" parts distributor at Pep Boys / Autozone that provide mediocre or sub-standard parts. Fel-pro is a big name and is available at most parts stores -- I used to dismiss it as just another junk brand. Not at all. I found myself being "forced" to buy Fel-pro products on a few occasions, and I was quite impressed with the quality. Often they probably just re-box an OE part, maybe they make a lot of their own gaskets too, but I haven't seen them pushing low quality parts yet. And I'm pretty picky about gaskets.
