I should get my car back this week, and as it's running forged pistons, plan to run full synth, either motul or mobil 1... and it'll rattle like a bastard cold...

Sorry to sound like a massive n00b but what do you mean it will rattle when its cold?

i think it means that it sounds kinda high pitched like a diesel idling?

forge alloy pistons shrink/expand was they cool and heat up, well more so then normal pistons. So, letting the engine warm up is more important. They kinda sound like noisy tappets.

It's also one of the reason why u dont see many cars running forged pistons out of the box.

Oh thats good, the swift does that. Its got forged pistons at 11.1:1 comp from factory and damn it sounds like a tractor in the mornings =P
makes everyone (myself included) really nervous the first time they hear it =S

thanks for the info ss-rotel =)
