Searched, didn't really find anything...

I've got an 84mm B20VTEC with IB Spec Wiseco's... I'm curious what everyone here waits before driving their daily driver with forged pistons...

I can hear apparent piston slap while idling for the first minute, if I'm in a real rush and leave short after my water temp needle just starts moving (around 130-140 deg F), I can hear piston slap whenever there is the slightest load on the engine.... Ideally, I wait till I've got ~180 deg F water, take it easy until I have +140deg oil temp, cause frankly, I have no idea realistically how bad driving around with any sort of piston slap is for the pistons/cylinder walls...

 

i usually warm the car for like 5-8 min before i start driving around (w/ forged pistons)

 

im usually in a rush to take off too in the mornings........i fire it up and let it run for about a miniute and then take off slowly. and i too hear the piston slap under load which is why i really take it easy until it warms up....

 

yup, in the a.m. right when i get out of the shower i fire up the car, go back in and finish getting ready... usually about 5 min pass and i'm driving the car.. by the time i hit the freeway she's warm enough to mash on
