It occurs to me that
you might locally advertise:
"Looking for 'Old Smokey' car (engine) for science experiment.
If you are planning to have your old smokey worn out car's engine rebuilt...
...NB that this is experimental and may have the opposite of the desired effect...at your own risk... etc"
As a means of finding a car/engine on which to test this with zero risk.
As you are such a 'renowned expert' on all things automotive, you should have little trouble finding a local test subject, from one of your followers, on which to properly and fully test this 'heresy!'
It also occurs to me that:
As you seem intent on
NOT following the given science and logic based advice, in an all out attempt to disprove my candid observations; you may not be the best person to suggest this to..?
So:
ANYONE ELSE
here might try this.
