Just trying to sort out the "rumors" on "factory forged" parts. I read about the 05 RL pistons that supposedly were, yet pics were posted of them side by side with TL-S pistons and they were identical and weighed the same.

Supposedly the Acura J's had "factory forged" Rods also? Can anyone confirm or deny this???

When looking at Rod listings from Honda, I noticed this;

2002 Odyssey - 13210-PGK-A00 $83.29

2002 MDX - 13210-PGK-A00 $89.24

2003 Odyssey - 13210-PVF-A00 $24.16

2004 Odyssey - 13210-PVF-A00 $24.16

Just wondering, something has to be up if the 02 rod is 3 times the cost of 03-04???
