I thought it was piston slap
I thought it was piston slap My car always mad a noise that i attributed to be piston slap. Then i started thinking. First of all when i just start it...its quite...it take about 30 seconds to a minute for it to start "clicking". Here is the winner it doesnt go away untill i start driving. I could have the car idle for 30 minutes and it'll still do it. but once i start driving....gone. Now i thinking lifter(s). I will be having a cam installed soon and i figuered that ill have the intake of...might as well check lifters out. The car only has 9000 miles on it though! Anyway...just tell me what you guys think.

My car is the same way. I believe if i left it idling for 20-30 min the noise would stop eventually but it does dissappear once reved or driving it. Im inclined to think it's still piston slap. I could be wrong though.
My car had the slap when I changed the oil at the first 500 miles? It stayed that way until the car got up to temps then went away. It was really bad when it was a cold morning. But I have happy news for me since I have done my cam swap with springs retainers and push rods the noise is completley gone????????????
It does not matter how cold it is it does not make a noise other than more valve train noise but not bad. But the slap is gone I am so happy.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
