    Hi All,

    I have heavy carbon deposits on the backside of the intake valves on an E93 335i that I'm looking to get removed. From any research I have done, walnut blasting is the best way to remove the heavy deposits. Is there any places in ROI that provide an intake walnut blasting service? If not, what might be the next best thing? TerraClean Decarbonisation looks to be decent but I have little to no evidence of such. thanks in advance!

    Hi, did you find anyone doing walnut blasting?

    no, ultimately I ended up doing it myself with a 3D printed port attachment for a hoover along with an air gun connected to a bag of walnuts. Took a whole day to complete the 6 cylinders.
