Engine

• Around 1998, GM switched from a "Select Build" method of manufacturing and/or assembling engines to a "Net Build" method, in order to save money on manufacturing and/or assembly. In the Select Build process, pistons and cylinders are matched for size and fit. GM's new "Net Build" method of manufacturing and/or assembly, in contrast, assumes all pistons will fit equally well in all cylinders and does not allow for variations in the size of engine cylinders or pistons. The pistons of slightly varying size (all within spec) are not individually matched with the cylinders of slightly varying size (all within spec).
• Excessive ?piston slap? occurs because an automobile manufacturer (GM) designs and/or manufactures a defective engine in which the clearance between the piston and cylinder bore is too great. Essentially, the piston moves sideways and ?slaps? or ?knocks? hard against the cylinder bore and causes damage to the engine pistons and cylinders, excessive smoke emissions, excessive oil consumption, carbon buildup on piston heads, decreased mileage, and a loud and obnoxious ?slapping? or ?knocking? noise, all of which diminishes vehicle resale value in the trade.

3100 and 3400 ? Yeah they have more power when they are running but NO THANKS, I have seen and heard of the intake problems with those engines.
So keep you good engines in your 94 and under Cavailers.
'Piston slap' in both (3100 & 3400) crappy engines.
Just got to Youtube and search for 3.4L GM Pontiac... Piston slap???
