I have no idea what I'm doing.
Getting ready for my first valve clearance adjustment ever on any engine. On the popular auto parts store website I get the suggestion for this part. Is this ok? Multiple sites list this same product.

Fel-Pro - Valve Cover Gasket Set
Line: FEL | Part # VS50115C
1 Year Limited Warranty
UPC: 84113552496
Cork
Improved Design
Material: Blue Stripe Cork-Rubber
 
Same gasket set I put on my 84 Bronco 2. Would have worked fine if it wasn't for 1/2 the holes for the valve cover bolts being stripped out.
 
I would stay away from them, they're about half the thickness of the factory gaskets with s much coarser grain of cork. They don't hold up to the factory torque specs. I had lots of issues with them leaking until I switched to the Victor Reins gaskets Napa was selling at the time.
