Cryo treatment has proven to work very well. Check out the companies that perform the service and read their web sites. Parts are placed in a computerized machine that regulates how fast the temp drops, how long it holds and how fast it rises back to room temp. This time regulation is critical to correct treatment. I hear there are a couple of places that just put your parts in an ice chest, flood it with liquid nitrogen and come back later.... not good- use only a reputable company. Different alloys require different timing, if the vendor does not know this, find a new vendor.
I have used OneCryo in WA state. I did my cam/lifters/cylinders. It works best on ferous metals but other metals also benifit from the treatment. I recall Jake saying that aluminum heads run cooler after treatment. ken |

I know of a company called Diversified Cryogenics that makes a product called "Frozen Rotors" that's popular in SCCA ProRally, and ClubRally, where brakes catch hell all the time. They may be able to treat engine parts as well.
Sorry, I don't have any contact info right now. I'll talk to my rally buddy and see how to get in touch. Yetibone

I use www.percryo.com for my services. They have 31 different profiles for my engines..
About 75% of what I build gets it!
