Exactly. The pre-85 oil pan is DIFFERENT. It uses a cork gasket. Any 22R/RE 85+ uses NO gasket, just FIPG.
I've held both pans in my hand, the sealing surface on the earlier pan is different, it has a raised ridge that "digs" into the gasket. The later pan is the opposite, it has a depressed ridge to hold a valley of FIPG. If you put a cork gasket on a later pan, it may (but not always) leak. This is why you sometimes can't trust what the computers at some of the parts stores tell you. If you went into AutoZone/Pep Boys and told them you needed a pan gasket for a '86 22RE engine, they would hand you a cork one. The dealer will type in your VIN and say "no such thing, you want a tube of this black stuff".

I only meant for that to be temporary.
See, in my case,
I now have to turn right back around again and remove the engine I just put back in it.
And I'm getting real tired of having to get that stuff off...If I had used the cork it would not be a big deal. Pull the bolts and go. Now I have (with what i got) a PITA job of getting the FIPG off, AGAIN! (again = 4th time in less than a month?)
It's ok, I've only got to get to school full time, so
fucking Toyota Gods...
