should seldom if ever be done.

If yours is blocked, and you cannot get it cleaned, then taking the risk for a very short exposure time will probably work.

The risk is that IF there is a backfire through the intake manifold AND that flame ignites the oily vapors from the crankcase, the flame front MIGHT move into the crankcase - the Mother Lode of oily vapors, and kaboom may result.

Regards,

Bob

PS Never did that myself, always have a new, or cleanable, trap in stock.
