Identifying engine internals
How do you know what pistons, rods and crank you have? I recently purchased a cdb with "sti forged" internals. Im going the 2.1 route so all internals are being replaced but how would i confirm if existing internals are what there said to be as i may be looking to sell them?

Not sure what they would mean but I would guess at having STi pistons. The pistons from MY97-MY00 are good quality forged items.

Pictures would definitely make it easier. Both top view and a good shot of the underside can help identify the pistons

OEM forged pistons will have HF1/2/3/4 stamped on the underside of the crown and the underside will be smooth.
