Valve cover brand

Are any of the non OEM GM valve covers dependable? After my fiasco with an expensive GM thermostat housing, I'm no longer convinced OEM is best.

Thinking about Dorman or TRQ, but open to any brand, I guess. The Chinese metal thermostat housing was pretty solid.

I'll be going for the one I find on Amazon, brand A-Premium. I'm going to swap it out this weekend/next week and I can let you know how it works out.

I did see a pretty cool aluminum one also on amazon if you're worried about durability.

Gotta get the free shipping wherever I can get it!
