If You Only One Piston Working Right...

If you had one piston working on a B16 or B18 or any engine is it still drivable? Or can you get around with only one cylinder?

Don't think you would be able to drive with just one cylinder firing.

There's no way 1 B16 piston could rotate the entire assembly.

2 is do-able, but 1 is not likely at all.

And pumping gasoline into the other cylinders that are not working will cause wear. The gasoline will disolve the oil on the cylinder walls... not good.
