Automotive Engine Intake Pipe Valve Clean Machine AUTO Engine System Fuel Cleaning Machine Valvetronic System Walnut Powder Sand Carbon Deposit Cleaner

I bought this machine to remove the carbon build up on the intake valves from a 2015 Mustang Ecoboost 2.3L engine. I watched a lot of videos trying to decide how I was going to clean the valves. I saw that there were less expensive options by buying pressure blasters, gravity feed blasters, cleaning the valves by manually scraping them with screw drivers or even using a bunch of tie straps on a drill. In the end, I chose this machine because it is all contained into one unit and the videos showed how well it cleans the valves. I am completely satisfied with this unit. It comes packaged well in heavy foam and it includes two bags of walnut shells and even has a nice pair of safety goggles. It took about 5 minutes to get it ready to use. I hooked it up to my air compressor (80 gallon 120 psi) and it took less than a minute of operation to clean a valve. The vacuum is strong and while there were some walnut pieces that were blown out into the engine compartment, but by and large the vacuum sucked them up and returned them to the unit to be used again. I realize that this unit costs more than what you might be able to build yourself, but I have to say that the convenience of just turning on a switch and going to work was well worth the money you might save by going cheaper. This machine cleaned all the carbon out of the ports and what was on the valves in no time. The vehicle runs great. Overall, 5 stars from me.

Came with everything you needs. Works awesome. Very little mess. If you have a shop it's an instant money maker. You still will have to use a pick just to save some time if the valves are real bad. Even a home shop over time will save money you're handy.

As the owner of four vehicles with gasoline direct-injection engines all with over 100,000 miles, I decided that it was going to cost me a small fortune to have the intake valves all cleaned professionally. To top it off, most of the shops I talked to about just use a chemical cleaning process which I do not find very effective, and I have concerns about affecting catalytic converters and turbo chargers. I've only used in on one engine so far, but was very impressed with the results.

Excellent tool for those GDI engines. Everything you need!!!

I have a direct injection Honda CRV. Like all owners of direct injection engines, I had excessive carbon build up around the intake valves that was causing drivability issues. This was the only consumer grade machine on the market that I could find. I was initially concerned that it would be a typical low quality Chinese tool. Boy was I wrong! It is a really well engineered tool built with quality materials. This could be used on a daily basis and I expect it would hold up well. It comes with everything needed to perform the job including walnut media. You do need an air compressor capable of supplying a steady stream of air. The vacuum is very high quality and it performs the job expertly. It’s basically a sand blaster (using walnut shells) that sucks out the media and collects it for use again making for a dustless operation. Since the included walnut media is collected and reused It would probably do 10 cars before needing replacement.There are several good YouTube videos on how to do the cleaning. After I did the initial cleaning I soaked each chamber in Berryman’s for a few hours and then repeated the process and had terrific results.One other observation… A lot of the build up around the valves is from the oil vapor introduced into the intake manifold from the pcv valve. I installed a catch can between the pcv valve and the intake hoping to reduce this in the future.

EXCELLENT. IF YOU HAVE A 2011 AUDI A5 QUATTRO, YOU NEED A SPECIAL PART TO FIT THE HOLE IN THE ENGINE. NOTE: YOU CAN PUT IN 120 TO 150PSI AND IT IS GOING TO CLEAN FAST AND TRY TO SEAL WITH TAPE THE REST OF THE HOLES IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE SOME WALNUTS SAND OUT SOMETIMES. EASE OF INSTALLATION, EXCELLENT DURABILITY. FAST CLEANER. AWESOME TOOL.

Have used it on several customer cars. Easy to use and works great!

the only product complaint are the intake fittings are very generic meaning they may not fit vehicle so unless purchasing the suction fitting separately for your vehicle then I don't recommend chancing the ones it comes with. Product quality and performance outside of that i have no complaints. I tend to DIY all vehicle maintenance to save money I see this product being great value but not a necessity unless your a mechanic by trade or maintain a fleet of vehicles as i am neither and the intended purpose of this product being a maintenance item that pays itself off in one or two uses but they are far and few in bewtween i.e recommended every 60-70,000 miles i believe but dont quote me. it also comes with walnut shell media which i dont believe is listed which is a bonus in my opinion as well. good product if you have the need for it is what ill say about that.extra info worth noting:the external air source credentials needed for this product is hard find out at least for me but my rigid 6 gallon 150 psi was able to handle this product.
