Re: piston slap / rod knock

might be normal,but its not good. i guarantee your engine never slapped when it was new. its from excessive movement which causes excessive wear.

true, only way to see if you have piston slap, you...

Re: piston slap / rod knock

youd be better off just buying another 1.5 unless you wanted to build your 1.5 . if you just plan on leaving the engine stock, it would be cheaper and easier to get another used 1.5

how do you know your connecting rod bearing is done?
chances are if the bearing is spun, your gonna have to get the bearing surface bored out and get a bigger (thicker) bearing installed.

Re: piston slap / rod knock

Re: WHY Blank rotors are better than cross drilled and/or slotted

slots on slotted rotors shave the glaze off the pads to keep the pads optimal for braking.

drilled holes don't do anything if you buy a CHEAP rotor. It actually works against the designed...

Re: piston slap / rod knock

piston slap is either when the cylinder gets tapered really bad and allows the piston to rock back and forth, usually on the bottom of the cylinder. Or the skirt of the piston broke off and is moving...

Re: piston slap / rod knock

if the noise goes away when the engine gets hot, then its most likely piston slap. a spun bearing doesn't go away, it gets worse and will eventually kill the engine.
excessive valve lash will...
