So, I have always thought that the noise I got from the engine when accelerating was piston slap. About 10 seconds ago, I was looking around the 700 FAQ's and found a little thing on leaking exhaust gaskets and noticed that it was described as a tick tick tick under acceleration. Mine has this very symptom.

And, on the freeway (I have to have the windows down to deal with So Cal heat) I can hear a light ticking while cruising.

Does this sound like piston slap or an exhaust gasket leak?

Thanks,
Eamon
