thread jesus... but while were at it... the ld9 blew twice in the same year...before even 60 00km on my red one(destroyed the exhaust lifter and cam and broke one cam carrier cover...)... that's why I swapped it l67...
But on the other hand I'm now a 190 000km on my black s/c ld9 with 50 000km done since boosted and I still beat it to death... still going strong....

my car has 137,000 and it is a LA1. I have piston slap and lifter tick. I need to fix both very soon because i do not want to destroy the engine.

what is a piston slap and a lifter tick? Soon there will be bearing tickles...lol.
My LA1 has 112,000 and the engine and transmission are gravy. Only issue I've had is wheel bearings because I used to drive some really cruddy roads back in Ohio.
When my engine is cold and idling it seems to have a knock. I have heard this called the GM engine knock-like it is a normal thing. Diminishes as the engine warms up. Anyone have something similar?
As far as maintenance: seafoam in the oil, gas and engine prior to every oil change which I do at approximately every 5k miles. Clean my air filter every 10k miles and change my fuel filter at the recommended times.
Always wonder about advanced tune up things though like timing belt changes and such. That belt looks so damn complicated...

i think that is piston slap it goes away when the piston expands when the engine gets warm. if i am wrong someone please correct me.

seafoam can and will dry out gaskets and o-rings if used too much. I'd back off a bit...
I'm going to start using 10w30 in the summers, just cuz my oil pan gasket seems to be weeping a bit. (it might have stopped) but the engine is getting a tad noisier in its old age.
89k now. Got at least 3-4 years to go still. |

I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm just curious about what chemical component in the seafoam that would do such things to my poor engine.

Yes that is correct, my 3100 does the same thing too. |

Btw it's cuz the piston can rotate a little in the bore when it's smaller.
Never looked into fixing it though.. what does it need, just new rings? Or new pistons, too?

It isn't for dissolving oil funk. It just loosens carbon deposits-essentially "soot" from the inside of your engine with a chemical makeup that will not damage your engine because it really isn't practical to flush your engine with water...I will say that too much of anything is a bad thing, but they would have a hard time staying in the market if it damaged engine components regularly.
Clutch, I think it is just a law of physics and nothing that can really be fixed. Unless someone is aware of a particular method.

well i can say i did seafoam twice and ruined an o2 sensor, which leads me to believe seafoam was the culprit, the sensor was not even a year old.
