Richard, I'm wondering the same. My '93 EV MV with 97,000 miles just started making noises which sounds like piston slap. It occurs only when cold for the first 2-3 minutes then disappears. It's not lifter noise, more of a slight nock almost sounding like a diesel engine. Rod in west Texas > ---------- > From: Richard M.
