Default Lexus replace my engine gasket

Last month i had an oil leakage. the oil leaked on the exhaust manifold and caused an odor smell. i turned in my car for warranty issue and took almost a month for them to fix it. they did alot of work to the motor. here is my attachment of the work order.

what they did is resealed your front timing cover. It is a long procedure to do, takes about 2 days to complete.

Yeah, there is a TSIB for it. That's a nasty repair, too. Does the car feel, drive the same after the fix??

I had to take it back to the dearler after i drove 35 miles. it didnt feel the same because it made a very loud cliking noise then engine rattled and stalled. i had to get the car towed back to the dealer. it was the for this repair.

I'd wager a poor repair before a lemon. The weakest link in any automotive repair chain is the sorry tech at the dealership.
