Yeah, it's either piston slap, or a sticky lifter. The VAST majority of the time, it's piston slap, and it will quiet down as it warms up.\"NASCAR is an integral part of my life. A part of me died when Dale Earnhardt died.\"

And it is not a stupid question. The stupid one is the one you don't ask, and something screws up.If you are driving a Chevy, everything else, is just a blur. 3.4 Carbon Footprint.

in my experience with 3.1s i know of thwo things it could be
1. lifter tick which is harmless the lifters just do this after a while
2. the fuel injectors make more noise with age also harmless
hopefully its one of thoseI Like V660s
