Hey guys. I am located in Wallingford for the Walnut blasting service.
Like mentioned, I am extremely busy so if you want it done, please be patient with me as I do this on the side at my shop @ nights and weekends outside of my fulltime day job. I can do one car on a weeknight and willing to do 2 cars max per day on a weekend. Please PM me for further info and I can take care of this for you guys. Right now I am booked out atleast a week or 2 with "stopper" being first in line. |

I just wanted to pop in again and give Dave two big thumbs up! If any of you guys are on the fence about getting it done, don't be. Dave's a great guy, very knowledgeable, and did a fantastic job. Definitely shoot him a PM and just be patient with his schedule.
My carbon buildup wasn't quite as bad as some of the worst I've seen on here, but it was still pretty damn nasty nonetheless. I'm definitely noticing less hiccups during idle, and especially during acceleration. The buildup of power just feels smoother now with no momentary hesitations through the rpm band. I don't have good pics of all 6 ports because my phone was being a royal pain in the ass, but here some before and after shots of the worst banks. |

I walnut blasted the valves on my car about 6 weeks ago and even though it wasnt too hard, it was time consuming (my first time completing it). I did it with the BMW blasting tools and some carb cleaner and the before and after are like night in day as far as how dirty the valves were compared to afterwards. The hard part was dealing with the "evil black box" but I'll be doing it again once the time comes for another cleaning. I didn't notice an increase in power but definitely a smoother running engine.
I can loan out (for a fee) the BMW blasting wand, BMW vacuum attachment, and the media blaster tank with some walnut shells if anyone is interested. All you would need is to rent a 100 psi air compressor from your local tool rental company and obviously have the other basic tools for removing the parts on the engine to get to the valves. I live in Norwalk CT and can be texted at 203 952 7814. Phil
