WALNUT BLASTING AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT IN MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLES PERFORMANCE

What is walnut blasting?

Walnut blasting is the removal of excessive carbon buildup on intake valves by using a walnut shells and compressed air.  Walnut shells are used because they are hard enough to remove carbon buildup and soft enough to not damage the valves themselves, the process is very similar to sandblasting, however it’s taking place under your hood and within a very confined space with specialized tools and cameras to ensure proper carbon removal.
