So was wondering if cooper's or any minis came with forged pistons.
Just was asked by my mechanic mate.
We want to know how strong the pistons are.
Cheers,
unit

Never stock, as far as I remember. But forged ones were popular over the years for competition. I ran 25 year old `Mahle' forged flat tops in my last motor (1310).. until I seized one... :cry:
