To maintain engine performance and efficiency over time, it is essential to keep the intake system clean. An innovative method of cleaning intake channels and valves is walnut shell blasting.
Our Autofest car service, located in Ciocana sector, Chisinau, offers walnut shell intake system cleaning services for all types of engines.
Why is it important to clean the intake system?
As the engine operates, the intake ports and valves accumulate deposits and impurities that affect overall performance. The consequences of these impurities include:
- Loss of engine power
- High fuel consumption
- Poor acceleration dynamics
- Accelerated wear of parts
What is walnut shell blasting?
Walnut shell blasting is a cleaning method that uses fine walnut shell particles to effectively remove impurities without damaging metal surfaces. Unlike chemical cleaning, walnut shell blasting does not leave aggressive residues and does not damage gaskets and seals, ensuring gentle and long-lasting cleaning of engine components.
Advantages of walnut shell blasting
- Effective cleaning: Walnut shells penetrate hard-to-reach areas, removing deposits and impurities.
Component safety: Unlike abrasive methods, walnut shell blasting gently cleans metal without causing wear to parts.
Fuel economy and improved dynamics: Cleaning the intake system improves airflow, increases engine efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.
Extended engine life: Walnut shell cleaning extends engine life and reduces the need for repairs.
