[QUOTE="smax, post: 2511269, member: 463"] I won't argue that it might not be lifter noise because it could be, but I will say that lifter problems are associated with mileage more than piston slap. While a high mileage engine might develop piston slap, it is mostly associated with the design of the hypeutectic piston designs in modern engines. Pretty much all modern engines are designed with much lighter rotating assemblies which allows them to be more efficient. One of the ways they lighten a piston is with the material and by making it shorter and moving the wrist pin and ring pack closer to the top. [/QUOTE]
