My neighbor just changed out the top end of his 2005 Chrysler 3.5L engine at 174k miles. He has some, not a lot, of varnish on the passenger side assembly. We were shooting the breeze this afternoon and wondered about taking the old rocker arms and submerging each in a plastic container, and each with a different oil. Of course, our experiment would be at room (garage) temperature. Would the cleaning agents in the oil work without ever making it to full engine temp.?
It'd be kind of cool to see what might clean the best, but we also don't want to waste good oil on a potentially hair brained idea that was doomed from the beginning. What do you think?
