Unfortunately no. I can drive it, but it kills off all the mosquitos in the neighborhood. I'm looking into just replacing the engine. Cyl #4 has 120psi and hasn't improved through soaking the rings. Which is a shame because the others have great compression. It also spits oil out of the exhaust and has a coolant leak somewhere in the back of the block (maybe headgasket).

It's always been an outside project (no garage space), and pulling the head at this point is more cost than I think it's worth. I'll probably diagnose the pulled engine later, or sell it for scrap.

How many tables and chairs are we talking about? How much do they weigh?
30+ steel folding chairs, 7 large round folding tables, assorted chafing pans/serving equipment. I'm thinking around 700-800lbs minimum.
