Default Cam/Valve cover gasket?

I replaced my cam cover gaskets with new "Genuine" Jag parts when I did the tensioners last year about 3,000 miles ago. Now the left rear is leaking again...dang-it. I read on the Forum that the following:
FEL-PRO Part # VS50724R $38.79 was a good replacement.
I've always trusted Fel-Pro they make good gaskets. However I just read, on the Forum, that the 3.9 Lincoln gasket is not the same.

Rockauto http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...parttype,10710
this is for an 2001 Lincoln 3.9 LS

So what is the scoop, is it or is it not the same for the 4.0 Jag engine.

It is the same for the AJ27 4.0 liter engine, which is what you have in a 2000. '98 and earlier were the AJ26 engine and the gaskets are different.
