cryo treating engine intervals ya or nay??

[superboost]

I've heard nothing but good thinking about cryo treating engine parts and plan on doing mine as well as transmission parts but I was wondering are their any downsides to doing this process or concerns I should look for????

Its good stuff. I too researched the topic and know a few people who cryoed parts.

You don't just have to cryo engine and tranny parts, but any part that faces high stress can be cryoed. One of the things they do often in road racing is cryo the brake rotors. Reduces warping and the rotors last longer throughout the race.

You can cryo spark plugs, cyl heads, valve springs etc. All help very much. Myself,I was thinking of having my rods, pistons and head cryoed to toughen them up.

From the people I've spoken with, supposedly if you build a balanced block, you'll want to have it balanced, do any cutting or shot peening etc before the cryo treatment. I found a place that charges $8 a part. Dunno if thats a good deal, but I too would like to see more research done.

i lol at the cryo stuff. for people on the street you wont need anything like cryo treating a part if you just us good parts and have it put together by someone that knows what they are doing. the amount of money you spend vs what you get is not worth it. plus no one really knows how much it would help on good quality parts seeing that people rarely break forged rods like eagle or pauter. now what your really should be looking into is coatings like for the side skirts of the pistons and ceramic coatings for the pistons tops and cylinder head combustion cambers and exhaust valves. but you wont need those either unless you got some money and plain on having the motor but by a professional engine builder for the type of motor being a b series VQ SR K series or what have you and plain on having it last for a long time under extreme conditions i.e. track... like a road race track not strip.
