      Don't worry about piston slap.
      We had a Century that sounded like a diesel even when warm; by no means is this normal but it never burned a drop of oil and ran just fine to the day we sold it a year ago.

      It's still on the road!

        when its warm it goes away, does that indicate piston slap because the heat causes the pistons to expand, or injectors building pressure?

          Probably piston slap... it's not the end of the world if it is. My old Chevy truck did that for over 100k. It locked up on a main bearing... no busted pistons.
