2015 GT Valve Cover Gaskets

[gqneon]

So I ordered up all my gaskets for my oil pump gear / sprocket install for my 2015 GT. The thing is, I went blind and plugged in the gasket numbers from Blazer's OPG install guide on SVT into Tasca and it said they fit my 2015. Reading a little more - someone posted pics online of that part number BR3Z-6584-D and BR3Z-6584-A and they are for the 11-14 valve covers and are notably shorter in height compared to the ER3Z-6584-B and ER3Z-6584-A which are listed for the 2015 models.

Before I return these two valve cover gaskets let me just ask - to those that have pulled their valve covers off before on these 15+ cars.
A: Do I really even need to change the valve cover gasket being that it's rubber and my car has 5k miles / 2 years old?
B: Has anyone used the BR3Z version of gaskets without issue or did you use the ER3Z versions?

The funny thing is, the ER3Z gaskets are about $70/ea online, but I can order the entire valve cover, including that gasket and all the spark plug seals and VCT seals for $50 a side lol... I guess that's a no brainer there if I need to replace my valve cover gaskets.

Let me know your thoughts!

I went ahead and ordered the whole valve covers just in case.

Perfect - thanks for the feedback. I was hoping this was the case. I ended up returning the 11-14 ones and spent $110 bucks on the 15+ ones to make sure I didn't end up with unexpected downtime when I tear the motor down but I figured they probably would have been fine.

Unless you have like 100k miles on it there's no need to change those gaskets.

My seals were in perfect condition. I'm sure yours won't need to be replaced.
