When you cryo gray cast iron you will gain 97% increase in strength. As the piston cycles you will have less bore distortion and better ring seal. The other benefit that you will get by cryoing your materials is that they "slip" between each other freeing up friction. You will also wear out your rings before you will your cross hatching marks.
