If you look at the edges of the counter weight it is easier to tell

Cast has a more square edge and forged is a rounder edge on the counter balance weight

Picture is kind of small that I found but better than nothing

Thank you. That helps. I also see the forged doesnt have that big hole next to the rod journal like the cast. thanks r
