Well, before you push it off a cliff, does it have the fold down bed, and
can I have it :-))


Seriously, I am wondering if anyone can come up with a description of the
sound of piston slap. I don't think I have ever heard it, and I am wondering
if it really bears any resemblance to pinging. We all know how that sound, I
just would have thought piston slap would be a bit more noisy and apparent.
Exactly what causes piston slap, and what is it 'slapping' on?
