    my valve cover seals are leaking and I am planning on replacing them soon. Should I just get new gm seals? Does anyone have a part number or pricing? Are any aftermarket brands any good?

    The only thing i have against felpros is they are $50 at the store. If you go on ebay, zzp has them for $12 each, free shipping i think so thats $24 for the set, half off. But they dont come with grommets where as the felpros do. So its your choice, just giving options.

    I would spend the extra and get some new grommets. The ones with the grommets are a little different from the ones that come with out IIRC. My first set from zzp started leaking again, so I bought the expensive set it was like $70 at awfulzone. I thought it was a typo at first. LOL
