Mikes reply:
Piston slap is "not" a normal noise, but if it exists, will it be heard via the Head Gaskets, that are New with the Metal, that "did not" exist before?
Is it possible, I won't hold you to any Auto diagnostic.
Also, the old used Head gasket is made entirely of plate thin steel and we checked it with a magnet and it stuck to it. Perhaps with the older gaskets, being steel throughout, it has more surface area to lock down and hold, so as not to ever vibrate like this particular gasket is possibly doing?
