You will only her piston slap under load. My Redline has been making this sound when cold since about 18,000kms. It now has 58,000 and right now as I've done about 6,000 kms on this oil, it is noisier than fresh oil.
All it is with an aluminum piston in a round hole. The piston is not exactly round when cold so that why it makes a bit of a thud when cold. Don't push the engine until it has warmed up and you will be right. I have driven a VF redline with very bad piston slap but as I said mine is a dull sound when cold. My other V8 hasn't made any noises yet but I'm only at 3.000 kms.
