Stick with genuine, nothing has been found to better them and I doubt that 10 Years after the end of 54 degree V6 production has finished any manufacturer would be interested in making a quality alternative.

Buypartsby/SAF just sell all sorts, but the Conti ones are what I use.

For camcover gaskets, we still recommend GM, despite the high cost
