    Well guys wasted an entire day going after the coolant leak. After wasting an entire day disassembling cleaning and repairing the truck with the new updated parts I find out my truck leaks worse than before with the new parts.
    The metallic gasket failed to seal and is torqued to spec. Coolant poured out on the ground and of course I wasted an entire day. The weather has also turned for the worst and I may not have another opportunity to repair the leak with some gasket papers or a form of RTV.
    What bugs me the most is the fact Toyota themselves uses a metallic gasket that even when fully torqued leaks. What kind of superseded parts are those if they fail to repair the failure.

    Has anyone else had this problem?
