Does anyone have any experience with this? I was thinking that it would be a good way to strengthen flywheel and rod for engines that have no aftermarket parts. Maybe it could be used to safely get a couple thousand rpms from a engine.It doesn't look to be cost prohibitive considering the benefits. I am not advocating not using billet parts,just thinking it would be a way to get an orphan engine to be able to turn 5 or 6k rpms.
From what I've read, it doesn't make parts all that much stronger, but does increase thier wear resistance. There was an article in a drag racing publication a few years ago, where a couple pro-stock cars had built thier engines utilizing cryo-treatment, and they discovered that the parts showed a fair amount less wear than thier non-treated counterparts. They were able to re-use more parts in freshening thier motors.
IMO, I would agree with you. You might not get that many more revs out of her, but she'll last longer with the treatment.

The guy I bought my sled from had this process done to the complete motor bolts too. He raced it from 1999 to 2004. Never had a problem with it blowing up and that was running 105 mph in a 1000 foot ice drags. I still have the sled and it still runs good. Rich the guy I bought it from said it is one of the best things you could do for durability.
