I find this hard to believe. going from 200,000miles for a rebuild to 600,000 miles between rebuilds? Or 300,000 miles up to 1,200,000 miles. How would he have time to test this? Or if he did the rebuild with the cryo at 50,000 miles and he is now at 200,000 miles (the original 50,000 plus 3 times that distance) it is not an accurate assessment because 50,000 is a low mileage for a rebuild.
By just doing something to the motor to get a 100% improvement to mileage neglecting aerodynamic drag and drive train losses? At the same time increasing the power by 50% would require a massive reduction in friction...which makes some kind of sense that a restructuring of the surface of the metals could reduce friction till you realize that the metal does not really touch metal if there is oil in the engine.
