| Description of the problem | On their 5. 7 liter engine knocks when you first take off. Sounds like excessive piston slap from the motor being bored out to big during production. I have contacted a toyota dealer and toyota themselves and was told this is normal. With this excessive clearance it will cause the engine to have a shortened life. The way to fix it is to rebuild it or replace the motor. *js |
