Running full diesel could cause a higher chance of combustion, were the Oil will lower the octain level of Diesel, and as you mentioned, it will clean the engine, but again, going by the images of the old filter, it may need to be done a few times,
Which will be a better result,
As I said, "Don't Drive It", and/or "don't load the motor up", as the viscosity of the Oil and Distillate will be very thin, as you only using it as a cleaning agent.
It just needs to idol, with a few revs, and make sure you get it up to Temp, so the distillate will help clean the oil passageways.
But "may need" a couple of goes at it, because it looks fairly thick.
PS: Lifters may be a little noisy, that's only because the oil will be a bit thin.
