Caterpillar used to recommend BonAmi to seat problem rings in their diesel engines in the 40's thru the 60's. It is even mentioned in some of thier overhaul manuals. I remember seeing it in the manual for a D13000 engine that was used in the early D-8 Cats.
If I remember correctly the BonAmi trademark was a freshly hatched chick standing by it's shell, with the words "Hasn't Scratched Yet" underneath.
I always thought that putting any kind of abrasive in an engine, mild or not, was a short term "fix" that would bite you later. Probably get through the warranty period, (if any).
But it was a common "fix" used in the "Good Old Days."
I wouldn't recommend it, then or now.
