They should last a pretty long time if installed correctly. I did mine back in 2006 because they were leaking oil. I discovered when changing my plugs. At the time I only had about 35K miles. Some other engines have the original gaskets and they're in excess of 100K miles.

If the mechanic does the job right there is no reason why it shouldn't last for at least 10 years.
