An apparatus is provided to remove undesirable deposits on an intake valve after only partial disassembly of an engine, the apparatus including a blasting device and suction device. The blasting device directs blast media against the undesirable buildup to clean the intake valve, and includes a remote control and specially constructed pressure tank that cooperates with the remote control to improve operation, convenience and safety during use. The suction device suctions away spent blast media and dislodged deposits and includes a universal adapter to permit the device to sealingly engage an exposed air intake opening on the partially disassembled engine. The suction device also includes spreadable grippers that engage the sides of a passageway to hold the suction device in place, and further includes an arrangement for generating a vacuum by use of compressed air.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is embodied in an apparatus for removing undesirable deposits on a part in an enclosure having at least one exposed passageway.
The apparatus is adapted to dispense blast media through an exposed passageway and against the undesirable deposits.
The apparatus further is adapted to mount to the enclosure and draw a vacuum to remove spent media and dislodged deposits therefrom.
According to one aspect of the invention, an apparatus to remove undesirable deposits includes a supply means for selectively injecting media and air through an exposed passageway in the enclosure, and removal means for removing the spent media and dislodged deposits therefrom through the same or another exposed passageway.
The removal means includes a body having a port for drawing a vacuum to remove the media and dislodged deposits, and further includes an adjustable mount to provide universal mounting of the body to a range of opening sizes.
One application of the present invention is to remove undesirable deposits on a selected internal engine part of a partially disassembled engine.
The apparatus includes a tank adapted to dispense blast media, a main conduit to deliver blast media through an exposed passageway on the engine, and a nozzle to direct the blast media against the undesirable deposits.
The apparatus further includes a means for removing the spent blast media and dislodged deposits from the engine.
According to another aspect of the invention, a remote control is provided to cause the supply means to selectively switch between supplying blast media and unaltered air.
The remote control is locatable adjacent the nozzle to facilitate use by an operator.
According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a pressure tank is provided for holding and mixing particles with pressurized air to create a media useful to remove undesirable deposits on a selected part.
The pressure tank includes a cylindrical wall portion and tangentially connected air inlet and outlet ports that create a swirling pattern of air flow to gradually pick up and dispense the particles located in the tank thereby promoting a more uniform distribution of particles in the air
