I was just curious if anyone has had experience or heard of cryogenic treating of engine components like the block, pistions, rods and such. Some one brought this up to me and i was just curious if it helped or hurt? Any info would be great!!! thanks!

I'm pretty skeptical on the whole thing, to me it just sounds like a waste of money. For the pistons I would get a heat coating on the tops and friction coating on the sides, but thats about it.

Chew on this...

Cryogenic treatment is real, and can have incredible effects on durability.

i wouldn't do it. just buy good engine internals, probably the same $. they are not THAT much, eagle rods and wiseco pistons= durable and cheap. cryo treat gears maybe but not internals.

I have to say go with the cryo treatment. If you ve seen the new Turbo mag, there was actually an article about this and the added durability of parts due to this. Quoted From Turbo Magazine" Raymond Wildman competes (in competetion tractor pulls, which put ALOT of stress on their engines)in an International Harvester 1066 tractor with a turbocharged six cylinder. The tractor was running strong, but his turbo was lasting no more than six pulls( am mere 1800 feet). 300 Below(In Illinois) cryo treated an unassembled turbocharger and all of the turbos' parts. With no other changes to the tractor, with the exception of the now cryo treated turbocharger, the turbocharger was finally pulled with a bearing problem, after 140 pulls. Quite an imporvement over the origanal six he was getting before." So as you can see, espcially on turbod vehicles, cryo treatment is very much worth it in my opinion. What cryo treating actually does is allow the molecules of the steel to bond together closer and tighter, thus making the said metal much stronger. This is escpecially beneficial on a turbod motor because of the high internal temperatures that turbod motors see. Sorry so long, jsut had a lot to say on this one.
I have a cryo'd act 2100. Seems to work great. I bet it takes the heat damn well.
I am gonna get my 1g rods and my soon to be fp big28 cryo'd too.
and heres some props to a dsm vendor that cryo's

good service to me, and where my clutch came from.
P.S. - its pretty cheap if you ask me. twice the reliabililty for a few extra bucks...hell yea. http://www.ffwdconnection.com/index2.htm

its not that expensive, the only problem is the guy that we have do it likes to do it in batches. so if you can wait a while for lots of people to put in orders its cheaper. if you need it tommorow its wayyy more expensive.
we had all our rotors done for road racing. stopped our warping problem
