" toyota put that black gasket maker in there? really? they made a mess of a job. "

Yes , this was the way we found it after the repair of H.C.G. at the TOYO service center . They also did not tighten the oil filter enough . Luckily I decided to look at it a few days after getting it back and it was so loose it had leaked to the bottom of the filter . I also was able to spin it off buy hand . Cleaned it off and retightened by hand along with a 1/4 turn of the cup / wrench . This is why we got TOYOTA to give us the free extended warranty , due to the shoddy work done on the engine .
