I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse that just got the timing belt replaced, do to it snapping. I got a compression test ran on the cylinders & the 2nd cylinder is reading 0 lbs. Would I be able to drive it up to 20-25 miles to get it home; that way I can have a friend, take apart & rebuild the head, because only 3 cylinders are running.

It's pretty hard to do on a 4cylinder engine. If it can start up then it can drive. You just won't be able to go very fast at all. It will be a lot of stress on the engine as well.

Thanks for using 2CarPros. Com!
