...and good rods and rod bolts.

That is all, you may now return to your other threads.

 

Is that a...

...request....

...or...

...a statement?

 

With the piston slapp issues the LS* engines already have a reputation for, I don't see a chance of this being done by GM.....too bad though...

 

My semi-regular reminder for the New GM to put appropriate hardware inside a supercharged motor, and not do the typically (and epically) bone-headed thing that the old GM would have done (and did...) by putting in cheapie hyper-u-explode-its and marginal rods and rod bolts in a forced induction motor.

 

you just will not rest until they do it or someone shuts you up

 

Does the LS9 have an unacceptable level of piston slap?

 

I approve this message and 100% support the effort.

 

Nope.

Trust me...

If left to their own devices, it'll get crappy slugs just like the CTS-V has.

And, as per usual, some committee will have come to that decision with the idea that it is perfectly reasonable!



Oh... here's a great article on Buell...

My first thought while reading it was:
Ohmygosh... H-D thinks just like GM!!!





Oh... another note...

Piston slap and oil consumption? Now... this isn't conclusive... but I know GM built about a gajillion engines that ended up in 2001's with bores that were too big.
