go OEM I worked at autozone for 2 years. and have been at Oreilly auto parts for 2 years. aftermarket parts sold at these such places are not meant for such conditions. they are not even that good for OEM setups. trust me. I know how often things fail and what companies make good parts and who do not.

Go OEM or Total Seal

The JE rings would have been fine. They're used in some of the nastier builds out there.

LOL at the thought of using autozone rings. They're probably made out of paper.
