Who's going around telling you this is forged?

When i got this car they said it was rebuilt with forged pistons.Lol.

I'm thinking at least some of this damage was already done to this piston prior to the "rebuild." Maybe they just slapped new rings on it and hoped for the best. I find it really odd that none of the broken pieces came off and caused serious damage to the block, or heads.

That piston would of melted forged or not, that bitch went WAY LEAN. the broke parts are from not being forged but the GIANT BURN hole is from a tuning or fuel issue. still super sucks !
