Greetings Cosmo,

Sorry to hear of your TR4 overheating w/ coolant in the oil.  This is 
the classic symptom of a blown head gasket and exactly what happened on 
my TR4 on the way home from SE VTR in April (500 miles from home!).  As 
Irv has mentioned, the failure was between 3 and 4.  A new head gasket 
was installed (etc.) and for the moment all's well. 

brgds, Jay
