Minis (unlike Fords etc) already have forged rods and forged cranks. Never had cast ones. Yes you can get forged pistons (from UK or US) for a price, but they are not the best for road cars- they expand much more and need bigger bore clearance. May be worth getting for turbos though I guess... if you got the do$h. For most purposes, even racing, modern cast ones are fine. See the thread on Graham Russell pistons, Hypatecs are good too. ![]() |
