Do you think I should drive the van or not?

As above really, some of you will have seen my other posts regarding my engine problems. Well when I start the van now it only runs on 3 cylinders. After a while revving the van it does clear after smoking a lot. Was out driving it last night and could see In the mirror with car headlights behind there was quite a bit of smoke comin out as I was driving.

Meant to be going big bang this weekend, it's about an hours drive away so not sure if I should drive the van there or not?

Was going to go big bang and Stanford then get the engine re-built by Richard morena.

What you think, will I be doing more damage driving it? Or will it be ok to risk driving it?

If your compressions are really only showing 50 psi then no - I wouldn't. Sorry

there's a real chance you could right it off, as in damage the case or major components....

sounds like you need top end overhaul as per your engine thread - so it might be ok but could have something that breaks and destroys the middle rotating bits!!

again prob not what u wanted to hear
