That very thing (supposedly) was a factory-to-dealer recommended repair for first generation 1955 Chevy V-8s. Apparently there were ring seating issues leading to massive oil consumption in brand-new early V-8s. Chevy told the dealers to put Bon-Ami down the carb while it was running.
I'll see if I can find any info. I've heard it many times and know I've read it somewhere.
