Could I get a good explaination of piston slap, and I also wanted to know if it is good or bad (probably bad). And if there are different degrees of it. I also wanted to know if once it starts, if the engine will be dead soon. Or is it kinda like rings on the engine slightly getting worn out after the engine sees a few miles.

thanks,
Kevin
