Manufacturers can and sometimes do have agendas that don't necessarily include what is best for the customer or the customer's engine.

although Snyder sells the gasket they specify, Brumfield does not.

if one has a problem and called to complain, I'm certain the first question would be "what kind of gasket did you use".
