problem #1

Camaro 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,000 miles
2001 Camaro ss with LS1 engine, has terrible piston slap that lasts for over 5 minutes, very loud, and has to be causing wear in the cylinders. This is a complaint that many owners seem to have but mine lasts very long and is very loud. People keep asking me what is wrong with my engine as it sounds very bad for the first 5 - 8 minutes especially when colder out.
