Walnut blasted Intake valves

I used

and
http://www.harborfreight.com/25-lbs-...dia-92150.html
as well as a vacuum. I did not make an adapter plate for the vacuum and blaster, which did make a big mess. I covered open valves with a rag and plugged the necessary pipes. The only problem i found with this setup was the tip of the blaster was small, so i could not fully reach the end of the valves. The engine could be turned by jumping the starter with a wire.
After putting everything back together, it took a couple turns to start but then ran fine.
Results
I was not expecting huge results because i could not clean everything at the bottom of the valves. However, the car is so much more rev happy. and pulls nicely. People who haven't cleaned their valves should.
