Gonna take a big nail to put this one on the wall. lol

I know that the compressor was getting liquid for maybe 8-10 start ups, but then I added a super sized 3 ton accumulator to it. So unless the damage was already done or it was just really old, it was from a lack of oil.
I didn't add any to the compressor when I put it on, I was assuming it still had plenty in it, BUT I did not know the history of this compressor before I got it other than that all the R22 was gone out when I found it.

Where should I cut into the pot to be able to see what I need to see?

I did babysit this thing for hours even when it got down to 31F and everything looked great other than being slightly over charged. I do have temp senors but no data logger, how would knowing the temps help determine the cause of death? It does have a high temp shut off as you said.
