It's kind of silly not to replace the gaskets on the exhaust because the gasket kit used for the recall includes new gaskets.

Yep. I had an oil leak and they replaced the passenger head gasket. No more leak but engine knocking sometimes. And high pitched screech when engine is cold, gets louder with RPM increase.
If they put some extra sealant certain areas, it could clog up the oil passage which probably going to cause spun bearings. And all this is stated in the Subaru manual but not Toyota. Dealership keep saying everything sounds normal and ignoring me and my noises. I'm just trying to make them fix it before i'm stuck on side of the road.
