I hope Jake chimes in here.
Is Cryogenics really worth it for our engines? I read an article stating Jake as the sole reseller of this service and he had it done to his company van,,,which in true form he went out and tried to kill the motor. I read vlave adjustment at 15k intervals (he did check them every 1k, but no need to adjust???? Opinions and a cost estimate would be great. Rich |

I'm by far a metallurgist, but I build a few engines EXACTLY the same. The cryoed engines have made some impressive numbers on the dyno compared to their non cryoed counterparts....
After you try to machine treated parts you will see the differences. Keep this in mind: I make NOT ONE CENT off the process, nothing. It takes 203 weeks extra for parts to get cycled and adds more BS to my job if a customer wants it. In short, it does nothing to my pocket book and costs me time. I feel that it has its merits to the point of taking a slight loss to improve my product. If I had a SINGLE doubt about it, I'd never touch it. FYI, that engine in the article now has 45000 miles on it....I have had to adjust TWO valves in 45000 miles, thats it! All the rest stay spot on every time I check.... A friend of mine races Go Karts professionally. He increased his entire engine lifespan by 2 full races over the non cryoed engines, and has not had a single engine failure in 2 years (in the past he blew 2 engines/year) his class is limited and they will tear you down in a heartbeat.........we swear by the stuff. |
