i just want tell everyone that had some good feed back about this question....thanks...
i did not start this tread to cause a bunch of little arguments, and certainly not to have have my credibility questioned. like i said before, i was only trying to help someone out.

anyway here is the question......i have a customer that brought in an 05 evo mr for an a/c problem which was a quick fix, but talking to him i find out that he has a 2.3 stroker motor in car, with alot of other the things done also.....this car is no joke!
anyway, my only concern for him is that it has a knock/ rattle type sound in motor that reminds me of the old 2.2 2.5 chysler engines(piston slap)...if anyone remembers those....
i brought it to his attention as he told me that he was told it is normal???
the company that installed it is chicago, i think i was ADP or something like that....im sure you guys know them, they did the stroker, a different turbo, piping, tuning....was a major project for them....does this sound right to anyone, any info would be helpful. i hate to see this guy spend that type of cash(it was alot) and have it grenade on him.
thanks for any help guys....

but another noise you might be hearing is if he has a multiplate exedy or another brand they make some crazy noises that sound like rod knock or piston slap so it might be that also. i know i have been asked many times about how my motor sounds & it's stock with a exedy clutch. anyway i bet it's fairly normal but some pistons are very good with expansion so the tolerances can be tighter all the time. ask him what parts they used to build the motor
hmm, I was thinking about a 2.3 stroker on my EVO in couple years. Not anytime soon because my engine is solid but I am sure it will be ton of fun with stock turbo and 2.3 engine.
What is piston slap exactly? Does it slap against something?

I am getting my 2.3 stroker built at JAM right now and I would like to know what to expect. I have never heard of this before.

The piston (aluminum) will expand quicker than the cylinder walls (iron) so it is very important to be fully warmed up before WOT occurs.

A piston does not magically slide up the cylinder walls. It rocks back and forth (Think pong) along the sides of the cylinder walls and if the clearances are loose, the piston will "slap" the sides of the bore until the engine is warm and the piston expands.

Ya, thanks for the info. I found many info on the web last night. same thing darkhorse told me. 2.3s on EVOs are great but they have to be built very well or the results won't be pleasant. Anyways, I am not doing it anytime soon so I guess I will wait and see what we have first.
