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!

    Don't listen to him. Wd40 and kitty litter is what engines love.
