Had mine for 4 years, not forged, 220bhp and running beautifully. Doesn’t need to be forged as long as you look after it and service it every year. Simple as that.

Makes no difference whether it’s forged! It’s down to the side fed inlet design

Does 100% make a difference if it’s forged as well as how your looking after them

The main problem is that this engine is in some other models as well in NA form. While it's a strong block, the serving units on it are mostly underengineered for this kind of power. That's why you see overheating issues, when you start to tune them. The standard injectors are barely enough for the stock power, while the inlet manifold is way too restrictive on the last cylinder. This causes leaning, which then overheats piston 4. Overfueling with bigger injectors help, forging the engine helps, but you are not getting rid of the main problem, which is the inlet manifold. I have seen a couple forged ones die with this problem as well.
