🔧 What Is Walnut Shell Blasting?

Walnut shell blasting is a specialized cleaning process that removes carbon buildup from intake valves using finely ground walnut shell media and compressed air. It’s safe, effective, and ideal for GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engines, where fuel no longer washes intake valves during combustion.

At Dale’s Auto, our technicians are highly trained in this procedure. We use manufacturer-approved tools and procedures for BMW, Audi, VW, Subaru, MINI, and other direct-injected 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.

1. Restore Engine Performance: By removing carbon deposits from the intake valves, walnut shell blasting restores airflow and ensures proper fuel-air mixture.
2. Prevent Engine Damage: Excessive carbon buildup can cause valves to stick or become damaged, leading to costly repairs.
3. Address Common Issues: Carbon buildup on intake valves can cause rough idle, hesitation, loss of power, and increased emissions.

Walnut shell blasting effectively addresses these issues, restoring your vehicle’s drivability and reducing harmful emissions.
