DIY - Walnut Blasting Your Intake Valves (Remove Carbon Buildup)

In today’s video, Jake performs a walnut blasting DIY on an engine. We hope this video DIY guide allows you to save a ton of money, if you already have the proper tools! Carbon buildup is an issue found on many direct injection engines. It can dampen performance quite dramatically, so we advise getting this service done every 80,000 miles. If you were to take it to a shop, they would likely charge around $1000 for carbon buildup removal. Walnut blasting is a well-known process that can clean carbon buildup out of the intake ports and valves. Essentially, crushed walnut shells are blasted into the valves with high-pressure air slowly wiping away the buildup.
