The N54 engine pistons are cast (and not forged).

They are steel. Aluminium rods normally only used in short distance high RPM competition vehicles since they fatigue and must be replaced periodically. I think I've read about a new Audi or some other car using ALU-rods.

Did you note the piston's code/markings by any chance ? It would be really useful. |

Once again, 06/2007 build. What do u guys think? I would hope I have firged but id there any way of knowing by the build date without actually opening up my engine because acvkrding to an earlier post they stopped making them forged the month after mine was built, so its pretty closr to the limit...who knows?
