Walnut Blasting, My Experiences.

[Jamie@SPTuning]

This one took a good 8hrs, used 15kg of walnut. It was well baked on.

I appreciate time = cost, but do we have a ball park figure on cost of this work ?

15kg!! Wow

A full day as an experienced mechanic, all the equipment and sundries needed, and a few comments made on other threads, anything from £300+ i reckon
Then the cost of getting there and back
Quite understand professionals' prices arent up for discussion on a chat forum

[Jamie@SPTuning]

£250-£350 depending on how bad it is. Most have been £250.00

Good find. That's an interesting read.

Beefmasta- how many miles, and how was yours when you traded it in- any issues?
When i traded my 150 in 18 month back, it had been remapped, and done 23,500 miles and wasnt any issues at all
Not saying the valves were carbonised, but it wasnt apparent at that stage

Just wonder how long you can go before walnut blasting is a must
shows how important the use of premium unleaded is too- not supermarket stuff

Is that a crack in image 6?

[Chris_Blue]

More like a scratch?

Is this now a verified fact ?
