That's an interesting question. I'm guessing it would run a lot better.

So what happens within the cylinder during the intake stoke if the intake valve is stuck closed ( exhaust is already closed ) ? Does the cylinder attempt to pull air/ oil from the crankcase , compress it , and then kick it out into an extremely hot exhaust manifold on the exhaust stroke? Would that explain some of the "oil burning? Hoping someone ( Jerry ? ) would provide an answer. Turn this into a teachable moment for an old guy like me.
