This engine has forged pistons whitch expand more than hyper-u-tec-tic pistons when heated . this is normal for this engine . my brother has a chevy silverado 2001 1500 4.8Lwith 650,000 kms and he said his made that noise when it was brand new and the dealer said this is normal. the truck still runs like new with lots of power and it still makes that noise before it reaches operating temp then goes away.My brother uses lucas oil treatment and it helps quiet the knock a little when cold.
Testimonial: "Thank you very much! You are the 3rd person to tell me that but the 1st 3rd party person so that makes me feel much better about it."
