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
