If it's the original gasket you could take it to the dealer and get it repaired on Toyota's dime.

My 95 with V6 was missing and I found I had a fouled plug. I replaced the plugs and wires (it was time) and the truck was running beautifully. I took the truck to work the next day and on my way home the check engine light came on - the code says it's the EGR system. I've checked to see if I...
