How Can I Tell If An Engine Is Forged?

[aaron1259]

Having a look at a Skyline soon and the owner is claiming he rebuilt the engine using forged parts (CP Pistons, nitto rods, ACL Race bearings, N1 oil pump and a new rb26 head and valves (Engine blew due to melted rings from running lean due to using the stock gtst fuel pump, apparently)), how will I know the engine has these components (he doesn't have receipts).

Also what should I check, what are common issues with the rb26dett? Also it's a r33 gtst with an rb26 conversion (still RWD).

Thanks!

Lol, do you think it will be that bad? He also said that the reason he was selling it is because he stuffed up an oxygen sensor installation and the wires melted on the exhaust, causing the car not to start, he thought the car was gone so he went out and financed a new WRX, later he found out it was only the oxygen sensor wires that had melted onto the exhaust, he replaced it and the car worked but he cant keep both.

The only reason that I couldn't view it earlier was because he has the engine open adjusting timing?

Would it still be worth having a look at? Or should I just not bother..

Yeah, as I said, run away

Ps. Car will start with melted o2 sensor wires.

You haven't lived untill you have melted o2 sensor wires.

Good on you for checking though. That guy was a knob. Melting pistons and then arguing about it

Baaaaahahaha! Clearly his mechanical skills were as bad as his rapping!

Cheers for the heads up guys, appreciate it!

Clearly seller is meaning 'engine is forged' in the other sense of the word....
