Description: When a bearing went in this Fiat's worn out engine, JohnAh tried something that many have thought about but few have attempted: for fun, he implemented his own "variable displacement" modification ... by physically removing two pistons! "To my big surprise and happiness, not only did the engine start and run, it kept on running for over 40,000 more kilometers." This thread includes a video of the car in action.
