Just to balance things out here - I also experienced a stuck pressure
relief valve on my TR6 last year and I munged one connecting rod bearing
(I killed the motor before I "hurt it").
Seeing that it's a 10 min job to check the P.R.V., I'd pull it just to be
sure. Look for dings in the shaft of the valve itself and make sure
there's no "cruft" in the bore of the big "nut thingie".
And dont forget to anneal the seal ring before you put the whole mess back
together, or you'll introduce a new oil leak to your engine.
