Cold idle tick?
My car is a 00 M6 and ticks slightly at cold ideling. Ive heard this is a common problem in ls1s. The tick disapears at operating temperature, and slightly higher rpms (1500 or so). I always run a fully synthetic oil usually Penzoil Platinum 10-30. Any solutions or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks Ryan

its just the skirts are too short on the piston so they slap when their cold. its no biggy, basically they all do it. it aint hurting anything

So theres nothing to worry about then? Also Is there any way to prevent piston slap without going thru the whole bottom end?

i dont have the problem, but this comes up a lot in this forum... the general consensus seems to be to just let it warm up before you drive it, or at least don't beat on it until its warm...
