I've been tuning in just about every day. Even made a post. Glad for everyone involved. I didn't know piston slap would sound that bad.

Just to say, the usual piston slap is different than what happened here, this was a collapsed skirt. And that would be why it didn't sound like piston slap, this was a knock. Slap is generally cause by loose piston to wall clearances, this was a gross clearance issue.
