I am looing at buying a ls1 5.7 with piston slap on a cold start up. now can any one tell me is this a good motor to rebuild? or will the bores be stuffed?

Welcome to LS1tech!

Many of these engines that are factory stock have cold start piston slap.

Give us more details about this engine and what you intend on doing with it.

Honestly piston slap noise is barely noticeable unless you listen very closely and know what to listen for. I'll bet you heard lifter noise which is loud as hell for a few mins then quiets down.
