Cryo. treating fasteners is a tricky thing! It relieves stress in metal and as a result strengthens things. The difference here is how do you know what to torque these treated fasteners too?
Did you wind up doing the head bolts? I had an in depth conversation with a client of mine who is a PHD and the Chief metallurgist for a supplier who makes OEM parts for major automobile manufacturers. As I previously suggested he indicated he would NOT cryo treat them.
