MB MOTORS is an experienced provider of walnut and media blasting services for all sorts of engines. This innovative cleaning process can maximise engine performance by removing carbon deposits that clog up the intake valves. It’s the ideal solution to get better fuel efficiency, more power and a healthier/longer-lasting engine.
Walnut blasting and media blasting are two types of similar engine cleaning techniques that are designed to get rid of hardened and crusted materials clinging to engine components. Both are commonly used to remove carbon build-up, and they’re the most efficient ways of cleaning engines without damaging any crucial parts.
Over time, an engine can be filled with carbon deposits, which happens when the fuel inside an engine doesn’t combust properly. Fuel should burn as it moves through the engine, but sometimes it doesn’t burn completely. This creates various byproducts that stick to the valves and other internal parts of the engine - and carbon is the most notable of these.
When carbon deposits aren’t removed from the engine, they solidify and clog it up. Excess carbon build-up will likely lead to the following problems:
The consequence of these problems will mean your car costs more money to run. Poor fuel efficiency leads to frequent stops at the local petrol station, while misfiring and rough idling will wear down your engine and could result in costly repairs.
Walnut and media blasting can prevent all of these problems by helping you clean your engine and remove any nasty carbon buildup. The results are instantaneous, and professional media or walnut blasting from MB MOTORS will:

In other cases, carbon deposits have made their way into other engine components. Consequently, we use media blasting to get to these harder-to-reach areas, or areas that require slightly more abrasive cleaning.
Our service ends with extensive engine testing using our diagnostics system to make sure your engine now runs smoothly. If we still notice slight
