I think the idea has several parts.

The piston and block will expand and then contract at different rates causing the surfaces to seperate.

The inclusion of ATF and a wick stops the petrol from being explosive, rather a slower burn.

The ATF will boil and encourage it to seep down the cylinder walls.

Shocking with a freeze spray is one idea, but not commonly done as it can encourage cracking / warping of parts. Still, if I have no success it's another thing to try.

If nothing else it will be good fun.
