kerosene flush

I'm pretty sure my 1.8 petrol Ford C-max has sticky/knackered piston rings. This causes a moderate level of oil consumption, and I think clogs up the intake side of the engine with oil vapour from the EGR system.

 

I'm considering doing a kerosene flush. I've heard it can work on these cars, but I don't know the dangers. I'm guessing dislodging carbon deposits that then get stuck in a vital oilway is one such danger. Anything else I should think about? Do you think it's a mad idea? What's the chances of it making things worse?
