Up to 92 had the forged pistons and in 93 they change to the gay hyperutectic ones. The forged pistons are much better for a blower or laughing gas. <edited><editID>harvey041</editID><editDate>37923.8032291667</editDate></edited>

so 85-92 have the Forged? That means they would be a little more realiable?

Yes they are more reliable, since they can take more stress.
