So unless your cylinders are mint and don't require a bore, you shouldn't use them.

any turboed car should be warmed up and properly before running hard and should be considered a normal procedure.
this is vital for both the motor and the turbo on their longevity.
therefore this "deisel" sound goes away after normal warmup procedure.

They are a cast piston with a heat resistant teflon coating apparently, also, ever hear a Vitara engine? piston slap like no tomorrow, what youre hearing is the free floating pin design, there is always going to be some noise caused by this, use thicker oil and it should muffle it down a bit, but nothing too noticable.

Re: vitaras help
if you are talking about the "hard break-in" I have done it. Did it w/ my brother's GSR motor.
Drive it up to red... and let her back down engine braking all the way... repeat a couple times... change oil. That the one you talking about?
