Just get OEM or NRW gaskets because who knows if the material on the AliExpress ones is going to last.

Use OEM/NRW Viton gaskets

OEM Timing cover gaskets
Change spark plugs
Change oil while you're there
Use all new orings for oil separator and cam position sensors
I reuse the OEM oil seperators.
Thousands of miles between the sets and never had a leak. Who is to say they wont all come back leaking/ rotted soon, though.  |
Thanks guys for all the data points, super helpful!
Perfect, that's exactly what I'm planning to do. Looks like there's someone selling the Aluminium Chinese ones on Amazon for $500, which seems like a bargain and a safe bet because returns would be easy.
