This is a VERY real and VERY common problem on the LS1. Just do a search and you'll see plenty of posts regarding this subject.

As an FYI, one of the local guys here just got the dealer to put a new motor in his 00' SS (w/ 33K miles on it), because of Piston slap.

 

I have HORRIBLE piston slap....When the car gets a little warmer it isn't as bad...but it still sounds like **** is falling apart in there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
