Good indy shop for valve cleaning

korben dallas · 09-08-2011, 08:39 AM

Anyone know of a good, and reasonably priced, indy shop in the philadelphia area for valve cleaning?

harpoondude · 09-08-2011, 08:49 AM

I know AKM can help you out! hit up alex or kevin@akmotorwerk!!

CJ421 · 09-08-2011, 09:18 AM

I'm not sure if Helix does that, it's worth it to give them a call though: http://www.helix13.com. Or PM here on the forums Alex@Helix

Otherwise try VAC Motorsports.

Both of those shops are in Philly.

Yea I already pm'd Alex to see if they do it, waiting to hear back. About 62 on the clock and starting to notice a slightly rough idle, packs should be good and plugs just got changed, so I figure I'm probably due for a cleaning. I'll take a look at VAC though, thanks.

Haven't had a chance to ping VAC yet, Helix only does a seafoam treatment and not the soaking/scrubbing or walnut shell cleaning.

i dk bout puttin seaform in a boosted car bro... i've done it in my benz before it worked great but on a boosted car??? i wouldn't

Seafoam may take off the top layer or so of buildup but you really need to either soak and scrub or do the walnut shell treatment to get it all.

Contact Bimmerworks in West Chester, PA. Great bunch of guys who do the work the right way or it doesn't leave the shop.

Local dealers send the cars they can't fix to Bimmerworks. They have clients coming from as far as 110 miles away.

No one else has worked on my car and I've done a ton of work on my car.
