Agree, PMR because they have bolts. The forged would have nuts on the outside.

There are physical differences that are easy to spot after you know what they look like. The last picture in this post shows forged rods:

Pikachu, are you seeing nuts or bolts on the end, I see bolts which mean PMR rods. If I'm wrong and they are nuts on the end then they are in fact forged rods.

OK, it looks like the differences are nuts vs bolts (they are odd looking heads on those things) and do the forged rods have sharper edges on the cap?

I see you got your pan down w/o removing the engine. I would like to hear more about that process, Meydawg51.
