Piston Slap

What is the dreaded piston slap with the LS1? I hear some rattling at low RPM, especially with the a/c on.

How bad is this for the engine and will it give up the ghost sooner than later? It has almost 43,000 miles on it now.

Thanks

Re: Piston Slap

I guess you haven't read too much around here, have you...?

Anyway, the easiest way for you to do is to do a search. Really. Not trying to be an ******* or anything, but that is an issue which has been discussed to death around here.

You can also check www.pistonslap.com for additional info.
