Put about an inch or so of it on top of the pistons and set it afire (it takes a little while) and you will get a nice, blue flame that really warms things up. And the unburned brake fluid stays fairly cool to keep the piston cool and maximize the heating/cooling differential. Something to try. Hope this helps. Mike
