So check this one out. Pretty sure I literally just started getting piston slap. I’ve got a rattle that meets all the descriptions I’ve found—starts around 2,500 rpm-ish, adding or removing throttle stops the rattle, cannot repeat in the garage listening under the hood, only driving down the road, etc, etc. uuugggg!!
But here’s two kickers that are totally messing with my head...I’ve had a dead silent engine and this decided to start at 3,6XX miles. Does that typically happen? Seems most I’ve read about started darn near new. I didn’t change driving habits, no oil change recently, nothing odd. Just smack out of the blue.
Here’s the other mental block...this just started inside a 100 miles of putting my Borla exhaust on. Now, logically I know there’s no darn way the two are related. But dang what are the odds? Sure seems weird. It’s bugged me so bad, I’ve thought about putting the stock exhaust back on to check it and see. But there’s just no way that’s related. Has to be coincidence. Sure is suspect though.
Any thoughts on these two questions; the late start and the exhaust?
