I just felt more comfortable having the aluminum neck because the plastic is what cracked. i didnt mind buying the oem neck just for the gasket.
I did the same on the new cooling system there is no coolant hose that goes into the oil filter housing but I swapped the gasket that was on there with an OEM gasket costed around 30 bucks but was worth it
