Upstate NY Walnut Blasting
I am thinking about renting a media blaster from Bavauto to do my valves, wondering if anyone else would be interested and want to split the cost.
Looks like the rental would be $261.97 shipped, and then $29 per bag of walnut media. Rental is for 21 days Has anyone ever completed the valve blasting DIY before? It would be sweet to have some guidance for my first time doing this. |

Where upstate are you located? If your not to far from the city I will be more than happy to help with the rental cost. I must say I have never done it before.

Don't bother renting, you can buy the whole setup for $250 shipped.

Think of all the walnuts that had to die in order for your intake valves to be clean.

I live near philly and an Indy shop here will do it for $500. Seems reasonable considering it is only needed every 50K.
