My engine just blew 2 days ago. It make a very hard metallic sound, misfire and stall sometime.
I think it's either the valve or the piston. I'm not sure if it's all the pistons, or just 1 or 2.
So my car is undrivable.
It's why I wondered if something is possible to let run only the cylinder that work properly, and disable the others. I've no choice other than finding a solution, if not, I'll be obligate to scrap my car. It'll be too bad, cause everything else work on the car.
I don't know if you've a better solution to save my car.

I think that, without an accurate diagnosis of the malfunction, it's a waste to consider such a conversion.
Have you priced-out a good, used engine for this vehicle.... or a rebuilt one? Frankly, if the rest of the van is in fine shape, a rebuilt engine will be cheaper than buying another van in the same condition.
