Why does my Mobil one have piston slap?
Anyways, I noticed that the mobil one wasnt providing good start up protection, could hear a rougher start, and had piston slap for 10-20 seconds while the motor warmed up. The cooler the weather got, the worse it got.
Is there an oil mixture that helps with piston slap?
Discussion in ‘ Modifications And Maintenance ‘ started by PRA4SNO, Feb 11, 2009 . Its not much of a “mixture”, but it really worked on my car. I have a MY02 Wrx wagon with 128,93X miles. The mods are very close to stock, catless uppipe, sti catback, pnp’d td04- intercooler elbows-throttle body, the rest is suspension stuff.
Do you get piston slap on a WRX wagon?
I have a MY02 Wrx wagon with 128,93X miles. The mods are very close to stock, catless uppipe, sti catback, pnp’d td04- intercooler elbows-throttle body, the rest is suspension stuff. I have been getting piston slap during start up since I got out to california, almost a year ago now.
How long does it take for a piston slap to go away?
So far the piston slap is nearly gone. From startup, I get 3, maybe 4 taps before it completely subsides, vs the 10-20, sometimes 30 seconds of noise. When I immediately begin driving it after start up, I used to get tapping at lower rpms, (1200-1800). Those are now gone, even with a completely cold block.
What kind of engine has a piston slap?
2001 K1500 5.3 original mint condition, 106 K, silver with silver cloth interior, console with key, fog lights, 265 Michelins. Good advice. Some say that piston slap is not detrimental to the engine and does not affect longevity or performance. I can remember my dad’s Chevelle SS had excessive oil consumption and piston slap.
Is the piston slap on a GM suburban bad?
Piston slap is not all bad. Frictional losses are greatly reduced because the engine has reduced piston skirt drag. I would prefer that GM built my Suburban with out the piston slap, but this particular issue is not as bad as it seems.
When did the piston slap on a Chevelle go away?
I can remember my dad’s Chevelle SS had excessive oil consumption and piston slap. He drove the pants off that car and at 50k miles the oil consumption slowed to a quart every 5000 miles instead of every 500 miles. The piston slap never went away. The Chevelle made it to 100k before he traded it in.
