Carbon Valve Cleaning & Walnut Shell Blasting – Standish, near Wigan

Walnut shell blasting is a method used to clean deposits from injection engine valves, so is sometimes called carbon valve cleaning.

This method cleans the valves and intake ports, removing carbon build-up. The blasting equipment is a specialised piece of technology that we are fortunate to have at our workshop in Standish, near Wigan. It uses pressurised air to fire finely crushed walnut shells into the intake tract, and these “blast” against the carbon deposits at such velocity that it is completely cleared.

Carbon deposits build up over the years, and if they’re left untreated, they can lead to a loss of power, a reduction in fuel economy and poor drivability. Bring your vehicle into S&R Miller for carbon valve cleaning using the walnut shell blasting method and discover the improvement.
