cool cheers matt. only asked coz im getting worried about me piston slap think it might be getting worse.

mike

 

it will only get worse mate, could last 10000 miles could last 10, mine was pretty loud even when hot.. thought it best to get it done plus the noise was so annoying

 

any one have a rough price on how much it will cost to have done???

 

I have quite loud piston slap on my wagon, it was rebuilt 20,000 miles ago with forged pistons..but told by the engine re-builder that it is quite safe, and to give it some welly!

 

Thanks for the replys guys this could be the time for a 2.5
