Question What tolerances to ELIMINATE audible piston slap in LSx's

Ok, GM messed up and piston slap is a common phenomenon.

What are the exact piston to side wall tolerances (parts required a plus) to ELIMINATE any audible slapping noise.

Thanks.

This is for future reference for a forged shortblock.

Hmm, no response yet....
Am I to assume that none of the big Dawgs or the hundreds of I can build my LS1 in the backyard has an answer to this???
Are tolerances so ignored in our quest for power? Hmmmmm...

I'm sure JRP will have something to say....
