Stupid buy?

My valve cover gasket is fux0red... i'm taking out the motor to finally go turbo + install motor mounts + clutch/flywheel and i'm also going to do timing belt and some other maintance.. i figure i'd buy this and do it all at once?

I put on an ebay kit in december which was about 5k miles ago. I have not had a single problem with it and I definately will be using the kit when I do my next timing belt install. It is well worth the 200$ savings over the stealership.

I don't think I have ever once in my life used an OEM replacement part on any car ever. That being said the important parts like water pump and oil pump I would stick with OEM unless it was high quality aftermarket stuff. Those gaskets should be fine, just remember to use silicone where needed!
