Damn it Data, you can't do that with an internal combustion engine

It's a factory-approved proceedure to get Mazdas to start with low compression in the engine - which is the real joke. You refit the hose once its running, mind.....   but it's usually a sign that the engine's fucked anyway and you're driving it to somewhere that can fix it, or replace it.

Bear in mind, knowing Dartz, if he's talking about a Mazda engine then it's most likely a Wankel rotary type and not a reciprocal cylinder.  Which is a somewhat different beast altogether.
