I have a 1994 Chevy Cheyenne C1500 with the 4.3 and I'm about to change the valve cover gaskets as its time to get rid of this leak. I actually have two sets of gaskets, one set is Fel-Pro and the other Mahle. Which ones should I go with? Seems like I see a lot on Fel-Pro?

Both are good quality gaskets. Mahle is close to OE, and I've typically leaned towards Fel-Pro. Sold a crap ton of them working at AutoZone. Very very rarely had failures from them that weren't caused by the installer.

Mahle would be my choice for a headgasket. They make truly top notch gaskets. But I'm happy with the cheaper Fel-Pro gaskets on the other gaskets.
Then I'm going with the Mahle gasket set. You have been super helpful. I am about to video this repair, would you mind if I gave you a shoutout just as a thank you?

You don't have to, but I certainly don't mind at all :)
