sti 2 forged pistons or not
Having just removed 2 pistons from my old engine. Supposedly from a version 2 Sti engine.
How can you tell if they are forged pistons or cast.
They seem a bit heavy to me.
Any idea's?

"a bit heavy"
So how heavy are they?
Cast pistons will have a grid pattern cast into the underside, the forged will be smooth. The sti 2 should have forged pistons.

Thanks Pavlo,
Just had another quick look, they are all smooth underneath with embossed/raised lettering 'HF2' in the centre. No scales at the moment will try to weight them later.
How heavy should they be anyway?
