Black & Blue- '02 WS.6 / '07 Suburban
How long have you had the car? Our engines are known for being noisy on start up -- piston slap and valvetrain can both be a bit loud. The engine generally quites down as it warms up. First couple of times we started our car after purchasing it I was a little concerned, but it always quited down. After I joined this site, I learned more about it and now it doesn't even phase me. Do you have a new noise, or something that has just developed?

well I just bought the car and its something new to me but the noise does wear off when the car is warm. So maybe its just something I have to get use to

As long as your oil pressure is good and it's not using it up, you should be fine.

It's a slight piston slap and most of the LS1s do it. It should go away after about 90 seonds.

No issues to worry about......PLUS you now have a reason for a louder exhaust!

I haven't owned a GM vehicle that doesn't make noise like that. It's just piston slap.
