Well, they were never designed to have pressure come back through so I would say proceed @ your own peril.

Running the car like this will be Very hard on the two lean cylinders, and also hard on the other 6 as your 02 will always be seeing a lean condition and continue to try and add fuel in order to compensate...this will result in an overly rich condition in the remaining cylinders.

This will also be hard on your oil as when the car is running rich it will deposit more contaminants etc..

Worst case buy a used one from a reputable breaker..Potomac, silver star etc, etc..
