Subject:Flushing the crankcase

Okay, here's one for eveyone's amusement:

Would there be a benefit to draining the crankcase of oil, filling with
mineral spirits, letting it soak for a few hours, disabling the spark and
then cranking the engine to work it around? Seems to me it could help to
remove some gunk from the case and galleys.

Anyone tried this or something similar?
