2 Loud Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2002

Engine knock. . Hot & cold. Sounds like lifter noise, gm says it's "normal" . Over 30 years as a mechanic, I know there's no such thing as a normal knock. After researching this issue, I find there are about 800,000 vehicle involved. Gm needs to fix these vehicles. Gm service bulletins refer to this as piston slap. Any slap, scuff, or abnormal noise in a cylinder is detrimental to the metals.
