Hello,
I'm getting ready to replace the valve cover gaskets (oil is leaking in the plug wells) on my 2000 LS w/ V8, 95k.
There appears to be 2 different parts of boots for sale. For Delco, the part #s are 16027 and 16029, both pictured below. On Ebay both are listed as working with both the V6 and V8- is this an error? Which is the correct boot for the V8?

Also, does anyone have better experience with one brand boot over another (Delco, NGK, Standard, Prestolite, Airtex Wells)? I would think to go with the Delco boots over the other brands, since no one seems to sell Motorcraft boots. Do Motorcraft boots even exist?
Besides the plugs, boots, and coils, anything else that should be changed while I'm at it?
And if anyone has the PDF file with the instructions for the job, please message me.
Thanks!
