Looking at pistons

Could these pistons actually be forged since they are used or do you guys think they are cast? Already won the auction just havent payed the guy yet. Lives close enough (1 hour) that imma go take a look at em myself.

Re: Looking at pistons

If that is the correct part number and they are actually SRP pistons, then those are FORGED 2618 aluminum alloy. Thats a fairly good price, good job on the auction.

Re: Looking at pistons

Its says that they have been used, so that will reduce the shininess. Maybe the picture isn't so good. Yes, those are floating pin. You're going to need new spirolocks for those. Cheap part, no biggie, but make sure you install 2 per side (4 locks per piston).
