Time For a Carbon Detox?
Posted May 09, 2021
Direct injected cars have one major drawback over their port injected counterparts. That is, that carbon deposits build up over time and need to be removed at regular intervals. The most effective and common method to do so is the use of Walnut Blasting.
Walnut blasting is recognized as one of the safest and most efficient methods of removing carbon build up from your car’s intake manifold and intake valves. Nearly all direct injected engines will need this process completed semi-regularly throughout the life of the car. The process of walnut blasting is comprised of using crushed walnut shells propelled by compressed air to “chip away” at the carbon build up. The walnuts shells themselves are softer than the metal of your intake manifold and valves which means that it won’t cause damage, while being hard enough to remove the deposits.
Walnut blasting is now a service we are happy to offer our clients here at Tony’s Auto Clinic, if you would like to make an equirey you can contact us.
