problem #1

Century Custom Limited 3.1L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 200,000 miles

these motors are made with "expandable pistons", which means loose clearance when engine is cold. As motor warms up piston slap should diminish. The peg line just left of the middle on temp gauge is where the sound of piston slap stops.
