Sorry to bump an extremely old thread, but I was considering this option but without the extreme overhauling of the engine. I had to run stop leak threw the radiator and fix an internal leak in the headgasket on my saab. It may or may not work this time, and I can't afford nor is it worth it to do the headgasket. Anyway the directions said for internal leaks shutoff the injector and spark to the given cylinder. It idled a little rougher but not bad for the shape the car is in, and if I fix the exhaust leak and put the intake back it probably won't be as bad. Just wondering without reading this whole list of banter if anyone else has just unplugged 1 or 2 cylinders and been able to drive without causing damage. As well as if anyone that did do the more extreme conversion how things turned out down the road.
