Walnut Shell Blasting FAQ
What is walnut shell blasting and is it safe for my engine?
Yes! It’s a non-abrasive cleaning method using crushed walnut shells to safely remove carbon deposits from intake valves.
How often should walnut blasting be done?
Typically every 80,000–100,000 km depending on the engine type and driving habits.
Does walnut blasting improve fuel economy?
Absolutely. It restores proper air/fuel flow, improving fuel efficiency, power, and throttle response.
How long does the service take?
Most walnut blasting services can be completed within 2–3 hours.
Is walnut blasting better than chemical cleaners?
Yes. Chemical cleaners can’t reach the intake valves in direct-injection engines. Walnut blasting is the most effective method.
Why is Walnut Shell Blasting Necessary for DIT Engines?
In direct injection engines, fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber rather than over the intake valves.
As a result, the intake valves are not regularly cleaned by fuel, leading to the accumulation of carbon deposits over time.
This carbon buildup can restrict airflow, disrupt fuel-air mixture, and negatively impact engine performance.
