Discuss this with me...
I have just read way too much on it from searching and my head is spinning.
Some say it's not a bad thing, some say it is. I have piston slap when I first start the car and drive away...only at light throttle and around 2300 rpm. I don't beat on my car until it's fully up to temp. I try to drive around it keeping my rpms under where it happens, but sometimes I accidentally make it happen. (It's funny I rarely beat on the car, my girlfriend teases me about why I have a fast car if I'm gonna drive it slow. )
The noise is just annoying and my mods are in my sig, 14k miles, my car put down 397/391 on a happy dyno and it runs strong. No FRPP 'ping'' either. I have an intake and off road pipes at home and I plan to do somebodies tune in the future, but the piston slap issue I have has me worried about the longevity of the motor.
