Picking a forged piston requires almost zero metalurgical knowledge. As mentioned above, if the piston looks forged then there's an extremely good chance that it is. That means that if the inside of the piston has no casting marks and has a smooth shape (one that has no tight-radius edges & is shaped so that a 'slug' can move in & out to form the inner section) then it's a very good chance that it's forged. Take a gander at the inside of this one, a TRD/Mahle forged Formula Atlantic piston See how it can only be formed by a 'slug' pushing up into the underside of the piston, thus giving it it's shape. There are no casting marks, and if any metal is taken up between the gudgeon pin and the inner part of the dome it has to be machined/,illed out. Anyway, suffice to say You-Know-Who is showing his usual complete ignorance again. I guess this explains all ... [Updated on: Sun, 20 June 2004 16:37] [Report message to a moderator]
