I have seen new rebuilds fail in a short time due to a head gasket failure, the area between coolant and oil passageways is pretty close at some areas, in this case a 202 with a big V8, an S420 developed an oil leak out of the head.
The replacement used a Reinz gasket instead of OE gasket and it was visibly improved in the area that failed, using some copper cross hatch material that constitutes a sort of crush washer to make a more effective seal.
Using the best head gasket is very important, and there are differences!
