Are the Atlantic British head gaskets of high quality? Has anyone done this job with AB gaskets and had the leaking again?

Advance Auto will lend these for free, only requiring a $50 deposit which they refund as long as you return the tools within 45 days. Otherwise you own them, which is about half of what AB sells them for ....
