Bought an engine with "Forged" internals here, pulled them and can't seem to find any markings to identify these rods. I'm guessing they are stock but was hoping someone could confirm since I have limited knowledge. Thanks
Good to see you posted this thread...I updated the thread title with more details, hopefully it helps...I wonder if @pcb, @BenjiHoggi, @LankyKiwi, @323 can help out here...
Here is what is left of the pistons after I let a mechanic shop I didn't know work on it. They were definitely JE Pistons. Was able to confirm by the stamped number
I'm not knowledgeable enough to be able to eyeball and identify an aftermarket rod. Here's a thread with some pictures of the stock rod and piston though! Post 19 and 21
