lessening piston slap?
ok, did a search, didnt find an answer. is there anyway to lessen piston slap? my car doesnt have it real bad, but my buddys 01 WS6 slaps harder than a transvestite prostitute!
and i know this has been asked to death, but can piston slap create any major problems, maybe after heavy modding? cmon, give me a reason to start saving for a stroker!

The slap makes for poor oil control, as the rings
get fluttered back & forth. Then too much oil
uptake will put that goo all over your intake and
the coking can make for some increased ping/KR.

that sux. its not bothering me, but you should hear the WS6! he just had his headers installed with a cutout. and with it open you can hear the slap plain as day over his exhaust. you can barely hear mine.

ok, you convinced me! i wil save FOR A FEW YEARS and see where i am.
and yeah, zamboxl, i think you would have had bigger problems than your car. i wonder if people are getting tired of those 'canes jokes on the miami campus yet. or was the irony lost on anyone when they were screaming "go 'canes" at the miami/FSU game? either way, those are my two favorite teams, and im sorry FSU had to lose so early in the season.
