I'd say go for a walnut blast. The lexus "top end carbon clean" is nothing but a glorified seafoam. Where do you think all that carbon goes since they dont suck it out? through your engine...with teh possibility to clump up elsewhere

I'm just letting you know the feedback I got from the shop that did mine (2 former Lexus techs)
Are they going to give you before and after shots of your valves?

The stories of them telling me of that top end clean, and the engine issues coming back, just makes sense. It seems you're just going to be spending to end up being in the same spot again (maybe worse, as the carbon will not be basically getting moved down your engine)

I'm still shocked no one (BMW/Subaru) specialty shops will take this on. That's free money out there on the west coast
