Sorry to continue this thread even longer, but like those GM motors in my
Fiance's Lumina, that when it was making noises at 32K, and the service
writer started off his explaination with "Well, On a car with this many
miles" .. and went into letting us know that it was ONLY piston slap; more
of a nuisance than having anything to do with reliability. Motor rebuilt
with a revised piston design. piston slap already back and only at 55K
