The shop finally got my frozen engine apart. The verdict was oil
starvation in number 1 cylinder. Rod bearing gone, rod shot. Piston
OK. Now I am looking for solutions before putting it back together.
Car is TR6 with 170 HP at the wheels used for the track. Has an oil
cooler and uses about 6 quarts to fill. Used Mobil1.
Kas has the illustrations for a deeper oil pan and a baffle -- but I
need more information about its installation, and the collected wisdom
of the group to help me get it right before I do it again. Will/would
an Accusump help this problem?
Thanks,
Chuck
