How dangerous in y'alls opinion piston slap is? How bad long term is it for vehicle? Is it normally getting worse as the engine ages? sow much controversy info out there....
What I'm experiencing is a piston slap on a new car with only 10K miles. It doesn't use oil, drives just fine but makes this darn knock/slap up until gets warm. It is very annoying and discouraging. I'm not planning to keep the car forever (perhaps 4-5 years) but really concerned if down the road it gets worse and likely will affect it's sale/trade in value.
So, folks and gals out there with pistons slapping, what would would y'all? live with it? dump it and get a different car? To BE or NOT TO BE???
