"Dropping in forged pistons" is not a simple task. The manufacturer will have extreme difficulty passing cold start emissions and suffer from reduced motor lifetime. Alternatively, it is actually possible to forge hypereutectic (high si doped Al) material. This is likely what would need to be...
How could I forget?
Also assymetrical conrods are employed with fracture-split endcaps. The assymetrical design allows the bottom end of the motor to be completely disassembled without splitting the case halves. This is my favorite new feature :)
Also the oil cooler and filter is on the top of...
