<VV> Popping Plugs

[Frank DuVal]

Not quietly, because with the plug missing, there is no spark/explosion 
noise comming from the cylinder, just the air rushing in and out of the 
plug hole. This sound will be there whether the valves are working or not.

However, pulling the push rods will allow the remaining 5 cylinders to 
get a more normal fuel/air mixture, so power output will be  better than 
not pulling the push rods.

Just use your AAA card.... Towing is quieter.
