ok, what do you mean "our" rods are forged? is that all 2.2L 2.5L motors had forged rods? or just the turbo motors?

waaaay old thread, but ms405 interprets to English as "MS stands for material specification no 405 which is different between forged rods and TI cast rods."

this guy says that TI rods are cast. can someone please straighten this out for me?

None of the rods are cast, all forged. There's only light weight and heavy rods. TBI engines all received the lightweight rods along with 86-88 T1 engines. 89-up turbo engines all received the heavy rods along with 87-88 shelby T2 engines.
