You might try testing it in your driveway. I am guessing you will experience
substantial heating just from the two remaining cylinders having to compress
the gas of four with no reward. Make sure your cooling system is functioning
properly and expect it to be taxed.

The 80's cars that failed at this still used technology that is way
outside the scope of what I am considering. They actually tried to do
it correctly (and failed). I am making a backasswards attempt of
running a Miata with 30 RWH for a few minutes at a time <G>. I'm just
wondering if I am going to blow something up or bend a valve or
something. I was hoping that someone could come up with a better way
to test this than what I could.
