Default Piston Slap

Mine does the same thing. Completely goes away after warm up. My engine is completely stock with 60k on it. I was told it is piston slap. Also told that this is typical on LS1's.

Default

it is typical on ls1's, just keep it warm, and don't drive it when its cold. your in texas so it shouldn't get too cold when compared to the rest of us.
