I have great success with the diesel flush in cars, but my approach is to get that car engine nice and hot, then add 1/2 a liter / 2 pints of diesel into the engine on top of the current oil and just idle the hot engine for 3 or 4 minutes without revving it. The diesel acts like dishwashing detergent in the hot oil and cleans out a 'lot' of gunk from the passages etc
The downside is that some of this gunk kinda has to go through the bearings and out as well, so it's not a substitute for doing things right and opening up the motor & cleaning things properly. I only do it on higher mileage engines that have larger bearing clearances.
My 0.02p's worth anyway
