Aspire vs. Festiva Valve Cover gasket

[TheresGabe]

I just went to buy a new valve cover gasket for my festy. As I was having them look it up, I remembered that my engine is out of a 1996 Aspire. I had them compare the part numbers, and they are DIFFERENT! The one for the Festiva, comes with grommets. The Aspire one, they are built in. Other than that, they appear to be the same.

Does anyone know which is better?

my 92 festiva and 97 aspire valve cover are exactly the same

the thick ness might be a little different. i would go to auto store and compare by using 5 senses

when i did my aspire b3 swap i used the festy valve cover gasket on it because i had recently put it in my old car and knew it was good. i used the grommets to, its only been 2k miles since then for me but no leaks yet.
