Using Kerosene as a engine parts cleaner
I bought a Rubicon with a blown tranny so I bought a whole other used engine and swapped it in.
However, I didn't clean the oil tank out very well, and some of the small metal shavings that were from the first blown tranny are backing up my oil filter quite often.
I was wondering if it would be possible and how much harm it would do if I put kerosene in instead of oil, took out the spark plug and turned over the engine a few times just so that i could get the kerosene flowing through the system to clean it out.... then drain and put oil back in....
I was suggested this method, but wanted to get the opinion of a few others to see if anyone has done this before or had a better way to clean an engine out (mainly just the oil tank) without a complete disassembly.
Thanks!
