I have a 1988 Lincoln Town car with a 5.0 V-8. This car has only 59,000 actual documented miles on it.
The problem I am having is what I think might be piston slap.
When the car is cold and on a cold day I can start it and everything is fine for about a minute or so until the oil thins out a bit, then there is this noise which seems to be coming from the passenger side of the motor resembling a bearing or diesel sound. The noise is actually louder when I am sitting in the car. This noise will completely disappear after the car warms up after being driven about a mile or so.
Is there any kind of additive I can use to help? will this destroy the engine? If so how long does it take. As far as I know it's been doing this since new.
About the only info I could find on the net about this was here,
Thanks
