Cryogenic treatment of components
Who has tried it on things like a cast crank, valve springs, pistons, etc. and did it actually increase the durability of the component(s)? Thinking about having it done to a cast crank in a Super Stock motor. Thanks.

Did this on valve springs for BBC.They lasted twice as long. Also did brake rotors and being a heavy car with thin rotors they lasted a lot longer before warping.

Re: Cryogenic treatment of components
I've had Evans Performance do a couple of ring & pinions for me so far. But they do everything else as well.

Re: Cryogenic treatment of components
Cen-Tex Cryogenics Waco Texas. Roger Grimes retired AF does a very nice job, takes care of you parts, and is less costly than some others.
I do a lot of it and IMO it works well, started doing the cast iron rockers (FE) after breaking too many, have never broken another one. I do heads, blocks, cranks, rods, all bearings and smaller parts. RJ |

Re: Cryogenic treatment of components
Sincere thanks to everybody who replied. I've read a lot about it and it sure seems like it would help, but I've learned that lots of times, what works in theory doesn't really work in practice. Thanks again, guys.

Re: Cryogenic treatment of components
We used to cryo all of our stock FWD stuff transmission wise. It seemed to increase the life of the gears, case, etc.
Gotta try something when there is NO aftermarket support!! |
