R&D Valve cover follow-up

I've posted this question in the general discussion forum but thoughtthis might be a better place. I wanted to get feedback from you guys, that have installed these seals, about how the are holding up. R&D tell me they have 20k miles on then so far with no leaks. However, I read in another thread where they were leaking pretty quickly.

I see L-fab offers the same thing for about the same price. Any feedback would be helpful before I jump in and buy either of these.

Thanks

I just pulled the trigger on the valve covers l-fab offers with new spark plug well seals. Theirs comes with OEM valve cover gaskets and pcv valve. He's also willing to warranty for 1 year which is the same as the nissan warranty on new valve covers.

I'll keep you guys posted on how they hold up.

Thanks for the replies.
