piston slap, what to do Options

[6gcnoob]

i got a bone stock 5sfe with piston slap now .... would it be safe to just get to block honed out and get right size pistons for it? or should i just get a new block?

Swap. (Even if it's another 5SFE - it'll probably be easier & cheaper.)

thats the thing lol. i am looking for the small budget route, i dont have much money to play with. and the reason i wanna stay with the same motor is because its practicly brand new ( head, crank, bearings, oil & water pump ).

so all i wanna do is just get my cylinders redone with right size pistons. just wanna know if it would be ok to redo my cylinders or just get a used block

You can transfer the head, water pump and any other external goodies to the new block. Bearing and oil has to be replaced any way. I think it would be safer and a lot cheaper to get a used block. When ever there is a piston replaced there is a posibility of problems either compression related or smoke burning. Unles you find somebody who really knows how to do this but then you are looking at a lot of $ for labor.

Good luck with what ever you decide...
