HIJACK? LOL, my threads can't be hijacked... I enjoyed the discussion. Yes, I believe the Deutz pistons are forged. I used them because I had saved them for so long that they demanded to be used. I haven't been able to work in my shop for a long time now, we had some medical emergencies and now I'm frantically getting ready for winter. Fall is in the air up here in the canyon. I'll get back to this one of these days.
Oh, the metal in those pistons is 'gummy'. It wasn't really friendly at all to this novice machinist, but I got them flattened out.
