I put this in "general" rather than technical. Wondering when and if this is coming up the pike (so to speak) with the goat farm here
Anyone know if GM "fixed" the infamous LS1 (all third engines for that matter) piston slap ????
For instance, on my SS Camaro, got a complete new LS1 put in at 35,805 miles due to nasty piston slap that occurs after about a minute and a half after cold start up. Goes away after engine at NOT.
4 of my 8 cylinder walls were out of round by .002 from top to bottom.
Was told by service manager that pistons now coated with Nylon/Teflon instead of just teflon (early LS1's) but at 25K the coating still wears off and piston slap would be back. Not MIGHT or COULD, but WOULD.
Guess what? 23K and slap was back
There's a class action suit claiming the gen III engines flawed since there's no piston skirt, causing the slap. (I elected not to join the suit - don't care for that kind of law)
