Cryo-treated (Frozen) head bolts do not require any extra torqueing – stretching does not occur!
Each bolt is packaged in its own protective netting to prevent abrasions.
Each cryo-treated head bolt has a blue dot on its head so that you know it’s been cryo- treated.

Kit contains:
16 qty 1241855 Bolts 
10 qty 7N1961 Bolts
26 qty 5H1504 Hardened Washers

You might be saying to yourself, "These bolts are quite more expensive than the regular head bolts for my engine, are they really worth the extra money? The answer is an overwhelming YES! Cryo-Treated head bolts absolutely will not stretch, so they never require any re-torquing procedures after initial installation. This is one of the single biggest steps you can take to avoid a head gasket failure.

"What makes cryo-treating so special?" Cryogenic heat treatment is a precisely engineered process of taking materials down to approximately -310° F, keeping them at that temperature in liquid nitrogen to remove residual stresses, and then ramping temperature back to room temperature, followed by a mild heat treatment process. The end result is a considerably longer life bolt with less internal stress and optimized tensile strength. IPD’s cryo-treated C15 head bolts are designed to ensure proper and even clamping forces across your cylinder head and keep your engine running. 

Cryogenically freezing head bolts greatly slows down the rate at which the bolt fatigues and loses its torque due to thermal cycling. It also toughens the thread surfaces to reduce fretting.   

This is not a new technology. In the past, toolmakers would bury components in snow banks for weeks or even months to improve their wear resistance. Castings were always left outside in the cold for months or years to age and stabilize. Swiss watchmakers noticed that extreme cold changed the properties of their metal clock parts for the better. They would store them in cold caves and let them freeze during the winter.
