drain the radiator?
Cadillac claimed their engine design would tolerate this kind of abuse - --on TV a few years back.
Most people did not buy their cars anyway - so there was no big rush to form a class action .
( My only Caddie was a huge Coupe DeVille - --which my wife refused to drive- )

they switched the on/off times on cyls to compensate - or some other idea like that
All of my engines stand up well to normal ab/ use -- but I had pushed the envelope.
Back when Khris was a tyke ( 1957)
or ?- I street raced with a jimmy blower on a two ton Olds sedan .
The mag was always tweaked to the limit and the belt (Poly V) was squirted so as to to not slip and hold 12 lbs in the manifold.
The difference between a safe race and a bank of shattered pistons was close - In les than 15 seconds I could loose the lands between the rings and never hit over 5000 rpm.
Heat rise and detonation can be instantaneous.
Lucky for me - I worked at an Olds dealership, so I just grabbed a handful of pistons and a gasket set and - was back in business.
