I know this isn't the right place to ask but I'm my sure how to make a new thread. I have my head off and I'm curious what Pistons I have just looking at the marking on the top. It's 63dTev. I've seen the f1 is 2g pistons but what's ve pistons from
 
So unfortunately just before I parked my 2g for the winter I skipped the timing belt. I purchased the car last year and was told it had a built bottom end. So I've removed the head and it is being refurbished. The casting in the piston reads 63dTev. I can't find a clear answer as to what engine these came out of because they are a Mitsubishi casting number. I've read it's out of and Evo 2. I know they aren't stock 2g pistons but the car apparently ran 25 psi for 4 years before I bought it daily. And I ran it 28 psi for 6 months before it skipped. Piston look fine just can't get a clear answer As to if they came out of an Evo 2 or what sorry if I'm so noobish just can't get a straight answer
 
Okay well some forged factory style pistons look the exact same as a stock piston is there anyway to tell if it's a forged piston? Just curious because if it's a 5 year old engine that's ran 25 psi it's whole life I would think stock pistons would have let go by now.
