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.
