not entirely sure why my valves are this bad, guessing it had something to do w the first owner. took some pics while installing mishimoto OCC. walnut blasting was gonna be for my 100k maintenance, guess it’s gonna come a lil earlier 😅

Direct injection things... lol I've seen posts on here from relative young engines already getting gunked up. The blasting will be a great maintenance item. Glad to see you being proactive and taking a look!

How many miles are you at now?

Get some gun bore brushes and use a drill on low speed after soaking the valves in alcohol for 20 to 30 minutes.

44/45 caliber brushes are bigger diameter, but I don't think they will have the needed reach.

hey @oVrKiLL , there ARE valves in there after all lol. this pic is post-walnut blasting.

if anyone is in the phoenix az area that needs walnut blasting at a decent price, hit up rich from RAworx. he said mine were among the worst he’s seen, and “up there with the BMW’s” …. lmao. also told me i should get a pcv side oil catch can, even tho i already have a ccv catch can. every video/forum i’ve read about the pcv side tells me it’s not worth it to buy since it barely even catches any oil tho, so i guess we’ll see. as of now i’m just happy that my turbo won’t explode on me lmao, but the next time you guys see me is when i get some bc extreme lows w swift springs 😈

You can skip the rear can it doesn't catch much, or at least it shouldn't be catching much unless you have an issue lol.
