Hi there,
I have 2.0cu ac engine with a stripped spark plug hole,I was wondering if it would be possible to run the engine just to move my van and not do any damage to the engine?
Cheers dazz

You'll be pumping nicely mixed petrol & air into an enclosed space full off potential random sparks. How far do you want to go?

Re: Running on 3 cylinders
Should be fine just to turn it around - if it has enough stamina left.
