Cant do that, think about it the piston would hit the valves and then it would be 24/365. It would be sucking in mixture or exhaust. Also think about reversibility, after the compression stroke there is an equal expansion stroke, thats an airspring. If I wanted faster, I would have used all four cylinders, which I did. Cadillac's 8-6-4 engine turned off cylinders in the same fashion.
