Depends, I had something similar to that, I actually have a video clip you can watch and listen to. Anyway I threw 2 rods later on, it lasted awhile but they let go after doing 7400rmp dyno runs and then going to the track the next day, 2nd pass it happened.

Sounds like piston slap. Mine doesn't have it, but I've heard of a lot of earlier LS1's having this problem. They "improved" the stock piston design on later models to help with this.

So if it is piston slap am I doomed for a shorter engine life?
