A bit off topic but is this common with lancers. My mums lancer runs on and has done it as long as we can remember (had it since new) and i have been told its caused by carbon build up.

AFAIK, shot peening is performed to relieve stress in metal components - it's also applied around stubborn bolts to assist with removal. There may be other applications I am unaware of.

I can't see it making any difference to how well your engine runs.

It used to be popular to shot-peen at least some components (e.g. conrods) when building high-performance motors. Obviously that was done before assembly. The object of this exercise was to improve longevity rather than any performance gain.
