My Inspirational story ....
I bought my car for $500 and drove it home 200 miles. It had been looked at by many MB people at the Austin Get together.... had been trucked down from Ft. Worth area for them to look at it because it shows no compression in the number one cylinder.
It was losing oil... not burning it at that time... although it could use valve stem seals now... it had a beat up copper oil drain washer, valve cover gasket leaking, oil too high in the crankcase... so I fixed those things ....
But it has always run great... it has always gotten 24 mpg ....and will run 75 all day long... with number one cylinder measuring ' NONE" for compression.... so I say drive it... making sure the brakes are in great shape..
