Re: Got my car back from dealership for piston slap. 1320,
Are they going to charge you to replace the cam in the new engine?
I would have a hard time believing that a technician would do that Job (properly) for no more labor than Warranty would pay him.On top of that the dealer would get in serious trouble with GM if they took apart a brand new motor on the general's coin.

Re: Got my car back from dealership for piston slap. I don't find it all that hard to believe.....
when the engine is out of the car (being rebuilt so it does not have piston slap), it does not take any time at all to swap a cam, timing chain, and adjust dot-to-dot.....besides....all the techs I have ever know were really helpful if you were willing to slip a $50 in there pocket....

Re: Got my car back from dealership for piston slap. Chris,
only reason I asked was you said "NEW ENGINE"
I was just curious.I work at a pretty easy going dealership and we might do something like that.
Just not for free.
Great Deal for you!
Ronnie
