Walnut Blasting tool

b92 · 12-21-2019, 01:26 PM

I’m replacing my valve cover and installing the RB external PCV + plugging head ports, but my intake valves are a mess and need to be cleaned up. I have all the tools for the job but my Harbor Freight blaster is no longer working. When I add the attachments/blasting wand, the air is pushing the media back instead of creating the vacuum & pulling the media through.

Does anyone have a blaster I could borrow for the job? Preferably in RI or southeast MA. Just need the gun/wand portion.

Negative, went medieval on it with a bunch of carb cleaner and a whole lot of scrubbing. They're like 90% of where I want them to be, but good enough to get her back on the road. I still want to blast them in the near future.

Thanks. Unless I can find one a little more locally I'll just try and build a new one. Mine worked before, not sure why it's not working now.
