Cars you don't care about

[kschachn]

Unless you baseline where it is mechanically when you get it with enough of a teardown to document starting condition the effect of your intentional abuse will be hard to prove. Removing valve cover, oil pan, maybe trans pan and intake would be a start. Borescope into the cylinders. Photos and measurements. Or not.

Sounds like you're looking for a YouTube career.

Yes, and one started by a 12 year-old.

Wrong board category for this too.

I’m not one for destroying stuff, unless it’s expressly for the purpose of understanding some specific physics or safety matters.

Something tells me this isnt going to be rigorous.

And it really goes against the purpose of the board.

If OP wants to define a specific experimental plan and rationale, and how they will prove their findings, we can discuss. But blatantly destroying vehicles for fun or entertainment isn’t the purpose of BITOG.
