IVO will take the cover off. and Spray the close the valves off and scrub your intakes with a wire brush. It should be a lot better. If IVO was not confident in this, i dont' think he would do it. His reputation and all.

He doesn't do walnut blasting. Ivo's way is NOT inferior to walnut blasting - walnut blasting is just slightly faster to get the job done (no soaking and scrubbing time).

Ya he uses wire brushes, not a toothbrush like some other guy said, hah.

Highly doubt it. Chances of that happening in Canada is slim to none.



I did my valve cleaning @ IVO's. He did a GREAT job and when watching him, it is obvious he has done it PLENTY of times and that he knows what he is doing. Once done, my gas milege improved by 1.3L/100km!!! (my valves were VERY gunky)
