[TR] Compression TR3A

[Rye Livingston]

I agree with others and two earlier comments I'd focus on before you even take off the head or anything else.

1) You don't want to be far from home and have it stop running. Never fun to get stranded and towed.
2) Additional damaging could be done, that may not be damaged yet, if you have a more catostrophic failure while running this engine in this ailing condition.

Actually a third comment is also right on the mark.  If you belong to a Car Club, you may find someone who'd help you rebuilt, supplying the labor and knowledge.

Good luck,

Rye

Hi and thanks to everyone who gave me comments on the carburetor. So turns out it wasn't a carb problem, but a compression problem #1-75, #2-55, #3-55 and #4-0. Even though he explained it to me, all I heard was the expensive price, which is not in my budget right now. Am I doing any damage to the car if I drive her this way. I always check the oil and fill it when needed. Is there a cheaper temporary fix?
