No forged. I'll do it the old fashioned way. Shot peen the rods for strength & have the crank knife edged, lightened & nitrided for hardness. Then balance the lot to my new flywheel. That'll do for my purposes.

that sucks mate
so how come it was two of the cylinders, i thought the spark plug bits only dropped into 1, or is that like a reaction from the other 1?
