Actually the bon-ami trick was still being used much later than the 50s. I worked for a JD dealer in the 70s, had one customer who had purchased a new 4020, and after using it long enough that it should have been broke in, he was still experiencing an oil consumption problem. The factory rep came and took a look at this tractor and determined that the tractor had never been worked hard enough to really seat the rings in. The cure was to remove the intake manifold, start the engine, and put about 1/8 teaspoon of an abrasive powder into each intake port, allowing the running engine to draw the powder in. This product was in a John Deere labled container, with a JD part number, and the parts department had it on the shelf. Apparently the process worked , at least good enough that the powder was kept in stock.
