For anybody who is looking for advice and should the only advice they
read contain the signature "jim beam", they should do the opposite of
what that post contains, because the odds are excellent that will be
what works best.

I have soaked mucked up engines, internally, with straight kerosene for
a day or two and then drained them, but I dont run them with kerosene
in them. You could probably get by with it for a short time under
no load, at low rpm, but I dont think it justifies the risk.

Kerosene is a solvent that doesnt attack most seals, etc, but it will
disperse a lot of the oil sludge.

I just fill the engine with kerosene or Stoddard solvent, soak as long
as is convenient, then drain, replace filter and use new oil.
That usually does the trick.

Xylene, toluene, and other aromatic solvents should never be used
for this purpose.

I have used Mystery Marvel Oil, per instructions, in the crankcase
oil, and driven it a couple hundred miles before changing oil. That
has seemed to work well for me as far as removing varnish. And
to keep the varnish off, I had to change brands of oil on that
particular occasion.

There are other engine flush solutions that probably work as well.

You'd have a valid, albeit snarky, point if you assume that the OP
had bought his car new. I certainly have bought at least one used car
that was horribly sludged up inside because it was an otherwise nice
car and the price was right. (and then there were a few that I just
never looked to closely into the filler hole)
