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?

Why not just leave both valves closed. The gas in the
cylinder will act like a big spring. Huffing and puffing
though an open valve will use more power.

It's a Subaru 360. The engine has oil injection, so no mixing is
needed. Early Saabs also used 2-stroke engines.
