The qtp had some issues in the beginning with leaks but they worked it out. Haven't heard anything about the edelbrock.

I have the Edelbrock 2 piece, and don't have any leaks. I did have to machine it down to fit my double roller timing chain set up. The oil pump bolts were hitting the cover, so I put the timing cover on the mill and machined out .135 and it fits perfectly with no problems.
