I forgot to mention this. When i first bought the car it didn't tick at all. I wasn't too sure when the oil was last changed because it only had 10,500 miles on it when i bought it. At the time i have never given a car an oil change before so i bought some M1 5w-30 and went to the local shop and had them change the oil. Two days later the shop calls me and tells me to come pick up my oil.???? So im like i gave you the oil i wanted you to use but i guess they didn't use it. So i went to the shop grabbed it and went to the store n bought everything i needed to give it an oil change. That's when i noticed the piston slap when the engine was cold. Its been like that ever since that day. Even after i changed it to M1. Im not saying its the oil they used that caused the slap but i wondering if there was something wrong with the car from the previous owner and they covered it up with some thick ass oil. Anyways now i have a tick all the time. Thanks for any input!
