hmmmm i have always used valve grinding compound....but i can see your thought process, gonna look into this.

 

[qwizoking]

no

 

[Cpappa27]

no

Does it have to be in the oil like they did with cash for clunkers ?

It'll probably just plug up a fuel filter, and maybe injectors if it gets past the filter if you dump it in the tank. If you dump it in the crankcase, it'll probably F shit up.

who pissed you off?

cars are pretty hard to truly fuck up. theres insoluble metal shavings all up in many older cars, the oil, the gas tank . big chunks can fuck shit up but wont happen with suggested means.
short of water locking the engine to where it cant turn over or frying all the elec and other major disasters it wont really be done for, a heavy oxidizer will clog channels for coolant etc, much more efficient . i have a friend with a protege that has the spark plug out open for any crap to fly in for example, still running even if it dies at idle. one of my cars has 12:1 compression ratio, very high tolerances, some 2000lb per square inch being "directly" injected. thats a pretty different monster than older cars. so that will make a difference

anyway good luck.

to be honest fires work the best

Syrup in the gas tank.

Prolly not, the only thing I've seen/done was the following: I had bought an old vintage tractor that had seen better years. Cleaned it up cosmetically and decided to clean the engine internally oil change solvent, then the new oil. Being originally a city boy, I did like I've done to all my cars, put in detergent oil. 15 min after I fired it up, engine seized. It had the hand crank slot so I tried that. Immovable. Ended up having to rebuild the engine. Mechanic said the years of sludge built up and would not have been a problem had I not used the solvent and detergent oil

50/50 mix of rust and aluminium filings, mix in to a paste with a small bit of flour & water, apply in a square on the hood of the car, ignite with a strip of magnesium or a blow torch and patience
get the hell out of there because you do not want to be around when the owner finds the engine burned of it's blocks or if the fuel line ignites . . . especially if the fuel line ignites

tho that might go a small step beyond minor vandalism . . . just a tad

i worked in a grinding shop for years and had access to all kinds of steel and alum grinding swarf. I tried this and nothing ever happened. I was told you need to mix and oxidizer into it.
