The best tubes are the metal OE ones. They may leak if they are 
20 years old and rusted thru, but that's why I just replace them 
when I rebuild an engine. Otherwise I've never seen any reason to 
use the aftermarket ones unless you have some kind of emergency 
that requires you to replace the tube without pulling the head. Even 
then, I consider this a temporary measure to give you time to do 
the job right.
