wildcatcrazy · 03-12-2014, 04:45 PM

Is anyone on island set up to do a walnut blast on my valves? Besides the dealer....!

Haha I want the same thing!

wildcatcrazy · 03-13-2014, 04:11 AM

I'm looking to get set up to do it, but may not be any time too soon...

turborevdboy11 · 03-13-2014, 03:44 PM

Keep me posted! I'm down! Thanks!

Ditto, I need mine done too.

wildcatcrazy · 06-14-2014, 11:32 PM

Gents, finally got the stuff to do it. I will be doing mine mid-late July. I will post pics. If you're still interested, shoot me a PM.

wildcatcrazy · 07-21-2014, 03:09 AM

Well, it's finally done... This is after 35K miles. The only dirty ones I got a pic of was #2, which definitely not the worst of the 6. But, here's a pic of all of them clean. If you're interested, send me a PM.

Edit: Pics will be uploaded later. The iPhone app isn't being too friendly.

Here are the pics.

Sorry, had crappy internet service. Here's a few more before pics. They really don't do the end product justice. But, I can definitely tell the difference during start up and acceleration.

Looks great Joe, any thoughts on doin it for the diesel? I hear it is different, harder to do, need special tools. How much you chargin?

For the Mogas versions, $400 which includes new manifold gaskets. I'll have to look into the diesel version though.

Yea, unfortunately, I won't be able to provide this same service for the diesel fans... Requires the head to be removed to effectively clean them, and just too much of a workload that I can't fit into my schedule.

With the N54s, it's a pretty straightforward job only requiring the manifold to be removed (and other smaller components to get to the manifold).

Sorry...

Bummer, ok thanks Joe.
