Default Re: engine noise

it's called piston slap due to the fact that gm went to a piston with a shorter skirt.
when carbon builds up on the top of the piston it causes the piston to rock in the cylinder and cause this noise.it usually is more noticable cold than hot and causes no damage . do a search for gm and piston slap
