GTO LS2 Diesel
GTO LS2 Diesel I tore down my 05 LS2 and the pistons are so loose and timing chain is very loose. No wonder it sounds like Diesel when its cold is that normal for 8K mi never overheated 1 owner. Doing L92 heads and cam. Does the oil pump come off without dropping Pan on GTO?
Wow, did you do a compression check and/or leakdown? The main question...............why in the hell didnt you have that engine serviced under warranty before you tore into it? Dont quite understand why you would be putting heads on a "loose" shortblock, whatever you mean who knows. Something seems amiss with what you are posting.

Just curious you say you tore the engine down or did you just remove the heads? If you can rock the pistons from the top with the heads off This is normal since the piston is not warrmed up. Also you would measure piston to cylinder wall clearance at close to the bottom of the piston skirt. I am sure there is nothing wrong with your engine. A lot of people mistake valvetrain noise for piston slap, and the valvetrain gets very noisey with longtubes installed. Because the tubing is so thin on headers compared to exhaust manifolds they transmit more sound.

as far as the Timing Chain, If you have doubts replace it with a beefier one.

I knew that there were problems in the Early Trucks but I just checked Service Info on Bullitens for 05 LS2 GTO's and Guess what? Nothing on knocks, Piston Slap. Nothing. And for you to get 2 cars like this, sounds like a fluke b/c Ive never seen one come through the dealership like that and its strange why they arent giving you a refund for the 2nd one. Oh yeah www.ls1howto.com should show you a way on getting that pump out, should be similar or identical w/ an LS2, good luck.
