Are you saying the Manley TourLite series which they specifically tout as 100% USA made, are in fact offshore forgings?

Kevin, the only connecting rod I know is 100% USA is the Pro Beam Billet.

Manley exports crankshafts, piston pins, retainers and connecting rods from China.
Their Titanium valves from Israel and the other valves from India.

Just take a look at the following Bill of Lading as examples:
