[Bmcu] [TR] RE: TR3 Oil

[William Beecher]

What is the windage tray?  There is nothing below or around the pan, it is
just there.  Are you thinking this is an oversize pan from a TR4 on this
engine?

BTW, the engine is not original to this car as it carries number: TS-71465E.
The previous owner thought it might be a TR4 engine but I am inclined to
think the number is closer to a late TR3A 60 or 61, with engine and
commission numbers not matching I dont know how to check this out to be
positive of what I really have.  Do you know of any other clues to look for
to date it?

Thanks,

The plugged hole half way up the side of the finned oil pan is for an oil
temperature gauge if you want to install one. I have one on my TR4A. If you
plan on using the pan you should have the windage tray that comes with it as
well. Anyone who wants more information can write to me.
