Too easy, assuming a non-interference engine: Pull the valve cover, disable the lifter on the intake, and jam the exhaust valve open. Button up, and away you go. Maybe with a bit of an odd tone to the exhaust, but <shrug> Who cares what it sounds like if it gets ya there? Of course, if it's an engine that'll hit valves if they're open at TDC, things get a shade more interesting... Then again, that cylinder is already dead, so who cares if there's a hole in the piston crown? -- Don Bruder - dakidd@sonic.net - New Email policy in effect as of Feb. 21, 2004.
