Valve Cleaning-South Florida

Jayk877 and myself decided to go out on a limb and buy a compressor, media blaster, and walnuts to clean our intake valves. Both of our cars came out super clean and both cars are rev happy. I wanted to see if anyone in the area would be interested in having this done. It would be $325 for the first 5 people and $400 thereafter. PM me for more info** I have lowered the price to get this going! *N54 Only*

You know you can just look at my recent posts to find out the answer instead of trying to degrade me on a public thread.

Degrade? Far from making a point that if you not interested in the cleaning don't post smart remarks...obviously you should kno that its walnut shells since you have over a 1000 posts...

For your info already did 2 cars for 400...lowered the price since we are really trying to increase interest...what would you charge? Have you ever cleaned your valves? Do you know the work that goes into it?

have i cleaned my valves? no. do i know the work that goes into it? yes, and its not THAT much.

There are threads on what this does but no DIY with pictures and instructions. I know people are wanting to make money off of doing this service. But even with a DIY people will still need others to do this for them.

Settle down. You don't have to be a mechanic to know how something works. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. You need to chill with your comments towards other members.

So you are telling us that you have to be a mechanic to know how to change oil? Please...

dude what are you talking about...no one said anything about having to be a mechanic..maybe you should read before you post..his comment was ignorant to the fact that he hasnt done it himself so how can he say how much work it takes...you need to chill with YOUR smart remarks on posts that have nothing to do with you...if you were not interested in the cleaning then dont post anything its very simple...YOU make SMART REMARKS and i respond to them..

I guess this works both ways considering your original response to my comment. Anyways...

"if your not a mechanic and havent cleaned ur valves then how can you possible know the work that goes into it???"


Your statement implies that you have to be a mechanic to know how to do something, which is NOT true. Nobody is bashing here except you for no apparent reason, and by the way, I did read your comment. Hence the bold.

if i didn't ever clean intake valves, i wouldn't ever know about the work that goes into it, right?

now that we got that cleared up, you have some GREAT friends!

oh, my valves are clean thank you for the offer, however.

well.. if you call removing an engine cover, cowling, intakes, a few connectors, and then the mani itself hard, then you must be a new "mechanic"

Are you for real?

If you said "if your not a mechanic and havent cleaned ur valves then how can you possible know the work that goes into it???" how is that NOT implying you need to be a mechanic? Your statement clearly states that if you are not a mechanic, you don't know how to blast the intakes. It's that simple. By the way, you don't spell possibly with an E at the end.

I am done arguing with your nonsense statements. PM me if you want to continue, I don't want these posts to be considered troll posts from you, the all knowing 300+ poster.
