You heard what the man said, he wants me to shoehorn a 5.0 in there. I'm all for it, but I don't have the time to make it all the way out there, so you'll have to bring it here.
Incidentally, it's probably piston slap from poor fit. Very common, also on the GM 3.1L engines, which have a standing recall on any 3.1L that slaps longer than 1-2 minutes.
They also say it doesn't "hurt" the engine. Yeah, I can't see how metal hammering away on pistons and cylinder walls could be bad, lol. What basically happens is the piston needs to expand to take up the extra room in the cylinder from poor boring. The Chrysler's also had HUGE problems with the 2.5L and rod bearings. They stock (I'm not joking) a 0.250" under rod bearing at the warehouse. Yep, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, 0.100, 0.150, 0.250. When your warehouse stocks 6 different undersized rod bearings, you might just have a quality issue there.
