How many miles on your 2618 forged piston engine? I have searched and read some posts discussing the issue, but wanted to get some real-world input.
I heard that the 2618 alloy used in most aftermarket forged pistons (especially FI pistons) are stronger than most of the alternatives, but because of their fit and hardness, they eventually wear/scuff the cast iron cylinder bores.
How many miles do you have on your engine with 2618 forged pistons? What brand pistons?
Is it a normal stroke or a 4" stroker? What size bore?
If you've had it apart, was there any scuffing or wear?
Any other comments?
