Are these real forged pistons or are they knock offs on a site.

It doesn't matter if they're only manufacturing pistons for 7-bolts.

Something else that doesn't make sense is the notes for this specific part number- 81mm bore? If they have boxes of pistons made for 81mm 4G63's, they'll probably have them for a while.

No Way! Everyone wants to pay $950 for those 81mm's! It's the new thing... That is a bit odd though, specially coming from Manley.. Must be some sort of typo or something to that effect.
 
Oh no! Guess i should become a member.. I'll have to go through my closet dig out my Standard 81mm 4G63!

But good eyes though. I didn't catch the big red font... I'm Blind apparently:p
 
They look forged to me but the specs are all wrong: Bore: 81mm (STD) Rod Length: 5.433" Stroke: 3.433" when it should be Bore: 85mm (STD) Rod Length: 5.900" Stroke: 3.46" If they can't get the specs right I wouldn't trust it at all. Just spend an extra $35 like MichaelSuch said and pick up some real forged pistons that are known to work. I got a set of Ross .030" over laying around, PM me if you're interested.
 
i used them in my block

no one buys them because of this exact reason, they think there no forged, or fake or something.

mahle is in my opinion the best piston out there!
-extremely light (compared to the competition)
-the whole piston is anti friction coated, thats why they look stock/fake?
-the side skirts have a "grafal" coating thats supposed to last 100000 miles
very good pistons:thumb: , but very few people use them:notgood:
