Thanks for the explanation John. What do you suggest I do? Should I run Amsoil 10W40 and forget about the piston slap? Should I continue to run Amsoil 10W30? Or should I use Amsoil 15W40 to make a thicker layer of oil at cold start? Do you think the piston slap will become worse (if so, any idea how long/fast)? I have some pics of my engine throughout it's rebuild process. I do have a pic of the bottom of the engine with the crank and rods installed. As well I have a pic of the new pistons in the block along with various others. I'll be sure to show your post to my Volvo mechanic (I'm sure he'll be interested). I want my B230FT to last long and run well, so the advise is helpful! Thanks :)
