Valve stem cleaning.
I have a 2011 RS Camaro and i have been debating if i should either drip the valve stems or walnut shell clean them.
Has anybody done both? Is there and risk to my engine? |

 I do the spray cleaning before every oil change. I currently use CRC valve cleaner and I think it works better than Seafoam. Suddenly got the urge to go clean my tire valve stems now.

I was thinking the same. Thought there might be something special that came up to clean my tire valve stems.

For those doing this, what machine did you choose to handle the job? Happy with it?
Wondering if it will work on my Cadi CTS VSport or my wife's Grand Cherokee once it has enough miles on it. |

And if those engines are DI it should work well, just follow the directions.
