Direct injected cars have one key drawback over port-injected engines, which is that carbon deposits can build up with time, requiring them to be eradicated at frequent intervals through the entire lifespan of the engine. The best and common process to do this is the use of Walnut Shells in a procedure normally known as Walnut Blasting. Walnut blasting is when crushed and graded walnut shells are blown into the car’s engine (intake valve) using an air compressor. It works similar to a sand blaster eradicating the carbon deposits from the surface being blasted. Walnut blasting is recognised by most mechanics as one of the safest and most efficient methods of taking away carbon deposits from your vehicle’s intake manifold and intake valves. Practically all direct-injected engines will require this de-carbonisation process completed at frequent intervals during the lifespan of the car’s engine.
