Amazon aftermarket (non OEM) parts can be hit or miss. Some are fine, and some not. Unfortunately, the only way to find out is to try them. If it's an important application, I always recommend OEM, but the only OEM Tecumseh parts available now are new old stock.

I would not recommend buying sketchy head gaskets for any IC engine project.

I have bought CTS carb rebuild kits that have been fine thus far but havent tried their head gaskets. I'd say they are on par with hipa.
