Sure, just put a big ole trash bag over it and write "inoperative" on it.

I noticed that neither prop was feathered and that the landing gear was
down -- not a healthy condition for single-engine operation!

How was one engine inop? did it not pass mag check? did he lose it
during takeoff roll?

Check further down this thread and you'll see that looks like another case
of the usual clueless aviation reporting.

If you really want to "disable" it, you could always pour some concrete into
the spark plug holes. That would also solve any windmilling problems, too.

I hear that a gallon of sodium silicate ("Waterglass") is the preferred
fluid - at least for clunker refunds.... the engine runs for 10 seconds
to several minutes - then seizes.
