-expansion and contraction in the engine from heating and cooling are now controllable
-oil blow-by drastically reduced
-increases in horsepower
-can run hotter temperature without any adverse effect
-no more warping or distortion of the engine components
-releases stress and stabilizes the metal
-cylinder and pistons will stay round and the ring will get a good binding seal
-heads stay flat
-cranks last longer
-can run significantly more races between rebuilds

Ask your mom how much harder it is to machine materials that have been cryogenicaly altered. I would think it would be very difficult since we don't see it used wide spread.
