David, kerosene as well as about anything that will burn should work. The idea is to heat the block & pistons until they expand enough to let whatever you are using flow in between the pistons & cylinder walls then help break free & lubricate the pistons.

You don't want to force the pistons down a dry bore. I had an old "D" that I had to burn 5 times to get the pistons out of, & while the pistons were still usable the bore was so badly pitted there were actually rust pits all the way into the water jacket....
