Piston slap, maybe not
Terry Dyson, an oil analyst, is trying to figure out what is causing our engine noises upon cold start. Very interesting reading at the link below. One theory being investigated is oil pump cavitation on cold start, very interesting theory to say the least since my car makes noise, but I never thought it sounded like a piston slap noise. Hope everyone can benefit from this link and in the end I hope we find the problem.
