Here's a sound file of piston slap when the engine is cold, provided by Alan Leslie.
Would it be possible if this thread could become a sticky to make it easier for people to be able to diagnose if they have piston slap? It would save the question being repeated every so often.

Yep, I can safely say that after 39 years in the motor trade with engines that is definitely piston slap. Not terrible just annoying really and providing it isn't using heaps of oil no real need to do anything until you want to or you want to sell the car.
Of course if it's under warranty then it's life threatening and needs to be fixed NOW.

Luke,
I suppose you could host it. Don't know if Alan Leslie would mind. Perhaps putting a note that it is his sound file might be OK.
