So some of my firends had this is discussion wanted to get the Org Opinions,
I was talking about building my bottom end, Eagle Rods and Wiesco Pistons.
When someone Mentioned Cryo Treating the stock rods and Pistons... Needless to say this went on forever which was better and why. and cost of one vs. other .
my thoughts is the cryo won't hold up as well as the aftermarket parts will.
I'm building the bottom end for the M62 and later the TVS.
What do you guys think? Cryo Treated or Aftermarket.

Aftermarket will be 10x stronger, especially with Aluminum parts (pistons). Cryotreating, in theory, would be of benefit more to steel parts like the rods or crank, although aftermarket would still be much much better for these in general...

not to mention the aftermarket pistons will be lighter than stock.
i wasnt aware you could cryotreat aluminum anyway.. which is what the stock pistons are. rods, yes...
All I want... is a little of the good life
^^ this... i thought virtually everything in an eco block is aluminum... in the end, forged will always hold up better than aluminum... make sure you get strong sleeves while you are in there...
yea like said above i would do after market............. any day over Cryo-treating
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
Crto-treat the block then get after market pistons and rods. Thats what i did and could not be happier.

I guarantee the crank and rods in an ECO block are steel. Have you ever seen aluminum rods? They're crazy, and huge. An aluminum crank would be insane; there's no way it could take the loads applied, especially since a replacement would generally have to use OEM journal diameters.
Also, you understand that forged pistons are forged
aluminum right?
