All that silicone on the factory motor, wow. Think I've seen a failure thread from a late '13-early '14 model, spun rod probably from the broken-off gasket material. Might have been a bad run on some of these motors.

Really seems like a greater failure point than any other thing on these engines (besides spitting rockers out) and surprised Toyota doesn't recognize it and start pulling engines.
