Running a four on three by removing the ignition cable reminds to well of a junkie car... I guess it can´t be any better if the piston is removed too...
Removing TWO cables can give a hint of how the engine will sound after having two pistons removed and there is a big difference if two paralel-going or two "oposing" pistons are disconnected. The engine sounds smoother with two paralel cylinders running but as long as all four pistons are still in place such a test will say nothing about the imbalance when the pistons are removed.
It would be interesting to modify two similar engines and compare them by driving the car. I guess the 360-engine will be easier to drive and produce less vibrations from the power-strokes at low rpm but the 180+520 engine will definitely be more pleasant in total.
