Sorry to stray off topic a bit, but has anyone had experience with Rislone Engine Treatment? Is it more aggressive than Marvel?

Thanks,

I think Rislone is essentially kerosene. I have also poured kerosene in an engine after draining the oil and putting the plug back, then let it dissolve the sludge.
But in my 413 I had dropped the pan and cleaned it anyway.


My Dad used the old trick of adding a quart of kerosene to crankcase everytime he changed oil. Put it in run it at idle until warm drain oil and filter.
