And anyone who's had a engine with forged piston will know what they sound like granted some are louder than others but they are noisy not quite like a stock engine.Neil Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78047-babf-block-different-to-fg-yes-i-know-but-read-on/page/3/#findComment-1313625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 14y 3m 10d Posted 23/10/12 08:29 PM Share Posted 23/10/12 08:29 PM Plenty of factory cars come with forged pistons these days. It's not a big deal. Fg f6 has them to the best of my knowledge. I've never personally pulled one down but pretty sure mahle got the job on this one.
