Hey guys, doing a quick review on the walnut shell blasting adapter I bought. I borrowed a walnut shell Blaster that's actually for the BMW dealers from a friend, picked up a cheap 1.5hp compressor from Harbor Freight, some fine grit walnuts shells also from Harbor Freight and my Shop-Vac along with this adapter to successfully clean my intake valves.
Once you have the intake manifold off the whole process probably took me an hour at the most having never done something like this. I did have some picks I used to scrape off the really hard to remove built up carbon. Overall very happy with how they came out! I included both some before and after pictures.
I'm also replacing my injectors so need a few more parts before I get the car back together, will report back once I do.
Car has 79k miles and is FBO with IS38 and ran meth since around 30k miles.
