cookie Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 at least a phase 2, you hear a knocking sound that goes away when it warms up. I don't know if phase 1s have it as these folks steered me away from the phase 1 when I was buying mine. The slap is caused by the very short piston skirts fitted in order to lower friction and keep emissions low. I understand not all of them have it, but every darn one I have heard does.

ringe Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 So piston slap is essentially knock, or is it just a thrashiness inherent in 2.5 motors? My 2.2 never sounds like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
