I know jack about ls1s and what can go wrong normally, so whats typical?

was that car at the dealer next to mcdonalds on rt38 in pelham?

that sound definitly doesnt seem normal, watch the under car video youll see...

Oh i did, sounds like a rod knock to me. But based off that i might know where i can get an ls1 and rebuild it for my miata idea...once he swaps the other engine in. lol

knock/tick when its cold...goes away when its warm=normal called "piston slap" even tho it has nothing to do with the pistons lol

that knock= not normal haha

So the normal ls1 tick/knock they call piston slap...but its not? what exactly is it then? lol Cause i know what piston slap is...

:edit: Sorry I always ask questions like this, I'm a sponge for car info so i like to find out while Im thinking about it :wookie:

rear end looks like a jet!

the lifters

and or wrist pins.
