Gen 3 Coyote - All Aluminum?

[Kennysum1]

Just want to make sure as I am sure google will give the answer but I figure not many places will know better than you guys.

Is the Gen 3 Coyote running forged aluminum rods and pistons? Basically the entire motor is forged alum?

No, pistons are hypereutectic and rods are forged powder metal, not quite the same as forged steel.

I don't know of any vehicle that's came from the factory with aluminum rods.

So it is an aluminum with silicone added to make them able to handle clearance a lot better and not have to be so precise in heat fluctuations?

Rods are sinter forged steel, pistons are hypereutectic alloy as above. Block and heads are aluminum
