Knowing that major manufacturers use the lowest cost part that meets specs and mark it up as much as possible, when I buy parts I research who makes the OEM stuff and then which manufacturer makes the very best part, then I search for pricing.

When I use orings I most likely will use those that can handle nitromethane, the very highest in quality, as long lasting as available, and 2 floors (not steps) above those required in specs.

Gasket materials are all over the place also, I use solid copper gaskets on exhaust anytime I am able to and use a manufacturer that uses the same specs from the Chesterson 140 gasket material or make my own.

I only like to do things once, so I will pay more for the parts and components or make them to make sure of it.

Jerrys has the gaskets/orings and so do other sources.
