I'm not sure about the stockers, but I must have removed my valve covers 15 times and not a leak with fel-pro's blue silicone gaskets.

I've reused the orange neoprene gaskets multiple times with no leaks.

I finally went through some blue ones i had. After at least 10 R&Rs. Don't know what brand, but if they are the rubber type they will last a while.
