Just my opinion, John, but I wouldn't bother with the rocker shaft.  Unless
your engine has been modified, the oil to the shaft is metered to
essentially no pressure anyway so I don't believe it could cause the kind of
drop you are seeing.  I'd drop the pan first.

The good news is that on a TR4A, you can R&R the rod bearings, main bearings
and oil pump without removing the engine from the car.  That probably isn't
all it needs, but should be enough to get you to TRfest & back.
