Timing Cover Gasket/Seal -- Felpro ok?

I can get a flepro gasket/seal set much less than the original Cummins part. Are they ok to use? WIll they last as long? Any experience doing this? I am worried the Felpro seal won't have the Teflon coatinga and won't work as long or as well.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Felpro are very high quality gaskets. They are my choice in gaskets, sometimes over OEM.

That's a big 10-4. They stay plyable. I have had mine on for about 60K miles and no leaks. The Fel Pro part number is VS50396R.

On Edit - the part number above is for valve cover gaskets and you were asking about a timing cover gasket - sorry.
