piston slap??
- Thread starter tjsdaname

piston slap is when ur skirt on the piston is hitting the clylinder walls because the bore is too big or worn out of the piston size, to fix it u get a hone and a new piston
when my blaster idles it makes a knocking sound it is alot noiser than it used to be.... and the bore and piston is all stock... I was wondering if just getting a wiseco topend kit would fix the problem... or do I half to sent it out to get it honed
all blasters do make a knocking sound when they idle, its normal if ur compression has dropped it means rebuild time, if it has compression leave it alone

if your motor is knocking louder than normal and your still on the stock bore, then you need a bore job and a new piston, not just a hone...
is this noise anything to be worried about??? it is a lot louder than it used to be

i recently talked to a guy who had the same problem, he bored out w new piston...... and it still did it so he took it to his mechanic, and i guess the cdi box had failed causing an improper timing and firing. being that it fired at the wrong time, it caused the piston to ''jerk'' wearing out the piston skirt and actually wearing out the bottom of the cylinder, just enough to cause that piston slap. he said when a new cdi box was put in after another new bore the piston slap had stopped. i dont know if this is true or not so any comments would help
Hard to tell from the vid, but it could be just some extra noise your hearing from the pipe. You hear a few more rattles when you put a pipe on.
yes it made this noise before I put the pipe on.... it just dident do it this much and it wasent as loud. I think im gonna send it to flotek and get it ported and rebuild the topend and if it needs it get it bored.....
is floteck a good place to send it there prices are not half bad......

the guy doing the P&P has to be very very good at what he's doing, one wrong move and the jug is F-ed.
that is the only reason I am kinda scared about sending it out to get ported....
mine must have this piston slap also, ill post some pics of the piston to see if that is what it is
