Engine Overhauls and Cryogenic freezing

Found on a engine overhaul website that they do cryogenic freezing of engine parts to season the engine parts prior to assembly. Seems that many other industries do it including the drag racers and NASA.

But...does it actualy work. Does spending a barrowful of $ give you a more long lived and reliable engine, and thats on top of the cost of blueprinting.
