This was the gasket you replaced prior to your organized drive right?

Crap...I was planning on using one of these when swapping my head instead of O-ringing the head. Anyone have any other experience with these? Is it better or worse than a widefire gasket with an oring'd head? I figured porsche is using metal gaskets now for a reason
