Walnut Blasting in Chingford, Woodford and all Locations in the London Area

Walnut blasting is a specialist automotive maintenance service, used to clean carbon, contaminants and deposits from engine components to include the intake valves, combustion chambers or exhaust manifolds. Compressed air propels crushed walnut shells onto the surface of the affected parts. The fine abrasive grade of walnut shells takes off any contaminants without causing damage to the component’s surface.

It is common to use walnut blasting on petrol and diesel models with a direct-injection design. Port-injection engines spray fuel to keep the valves clean whereas a direct-injection engine sprays fuel into the combustion chamber. This leaves valves exposed to gas or to oil.

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves leave the intake valves in an exposed condition, restricting the airflow and baking on carbon.

Walnut blasting is available to customers in the areas below:

Chingford | Edmonton | Walthamstow | Woodford

We also cover all locations in the Greater London area.

By propelling walnut shells at high velocities, we can overcome fuel inefficiency, performance and engine emission issues in one visit.

The Benefits of Walnut Blasting

Unlike chemical cleaners which often struggle to remove the build-up of contaminants, walnut blasting can achieve the desired outcome but without the process scratching the components. Indeed, walnut shells are gentle on the parts themselves, and won’t affect the substrate.

This makes it a safer option for cleaning.

By cleaning intake valves, combustion chambers and manifolds, walnut blasting improves engine performance and fuel economy. It also helps to reduce knocking or pinging noises from within the car’s engine.

Because walnut shells are natural, this makes them biodegradable too so the process itself can be considered as environmentally friendly. We recommend booking in for walnut blasting after 75,000 to 100,000 miles of driving, or sooner if you drive under specific conditions.
