FORD fixed the piston slap!
From the Corral.net article:
Similarly, the new engine’s pistons have been shaped with noise reduction in mind. The pistons have longer side skirts than in the past, helping to control piston movement and
minimise piston slap.
Gee, only took 'em 5 years to figure out a long stroke motor wants long skirts?
Now I gotta move to Australia to enjoy the new motor, Mate!
