Got oil on top of your spark plugs??

Maybe just dumb luck...but while doing my head gasket replacement, I also replaced (among many other things) the No. 3 cyl head cover with a new OEM ($52.00) from Toyota dealer. I felt at the time maybe this was a waste of money. But after reading these posts I think it was money well spent. No leaks. No problems. (and I run hard on road courses)

That elusive part number for this famous No. 3 cyl head cover I will donate to the cause for a Ron Paul vote...Toyota Part No. 11219-42020

i bet the purpose is to keep debris and liquids out of the spark plug tubes since its so hard to get out once its in there, and if you remove the plugs when theres stuff in there itl fall into the cylinder.
