i used to work at auto zone and that is all that we sold was beck/and fel pro
i would by far go with the fel pro much better gasket. i never had any complaints with the fel pro gaskets as long as i worked there and that was for a year and a half

What motor is the head gasket for? D16y8? or are you trying to raise the comp on another SOHC motor? Personally OEM is always a great way to go.
