Don’t do this.

You’re supposed to season pistons and rods like you would a cast iron fry pan. I like to use a combination of canola and beef tallow, but a 5W20 works in a pinch.

Remember kids, a happy piston is a varnished piston. Keep those oil rings in place, make sure they’re good and solid!

    Fool, bleach belongs in the coolant.

  Go watch a few engine tear downs by I Do Cars, that will answer all questions, remove all doubts.
