Piston slap ??? forged pistons ???
I have a 1st gen B16. I bought my CRX with the swap in it a little over a year ago, and have since had to do a lot of manitneance work on it. Havent take head off or anything and seen the pistons.....
When my engine is Ice cold (hasnt run in over 3 hours), it runs and sounds like ----; literally. I hate it
But once it warms up to where the temp needle moves up a lil bit its fine. I never get on it until its near full temp though and I dont drive unless it is warmed up.
Is this normal? Do forged pistons act this way? Do all 1st gen B16A's act this way? its realy been bothering me lately.
TIA!

I can do a compression test tomorrow. Should I do it cold since that it when I have that messed up noise? I'll try it once it warmed up as well. How "warm" does it need to be? should I just let it run for liek 2 minutes then do the compression test? will it be "warm" enough then?
