[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16171215, member: 188865"] One of the guys who's motor blew and he was tearing it down showed evidence of piston slap (youtube vid) and I've heard a couple of other guys in forums claim they have it. I have not yet heard. I don't think we're talking about huge dimension here. If the piston isn't perfectly centered and level in the bore, even a miniscule amount would change the ring contact with the wall (that's the bitch of a circular contact, tilt it even slightly in any direction and you now don't have perfect contact anymore or at least not the contact the ring seated/wore to when it's operating normally.
