Like said before, GM has been having these problems forever. So why even bother making a big deal about it? I can understand if it's misfiring, poor performance, loud knocking, etc. But as long as it's not doing any of those things, just drive the damn thing

Sorry to bring back an old thread but could a timing controller cause piston slap? I set the timing back 4 degrees total but I haven't put in the br7ef's in yet so could this be my problem? It's never made the knocking sound before but the motor has 108,xxx miles.
