Default Piston Slap

Hi Guys,

I have a question for the motor rebuilders here on the site.

I am talking to a guy that has a 169 for sale with a 149 as a parts tractor. During his ownership the 14 HP motor has been rebuilt and put in the 169 and is running just fine. Then he either rebuilt or had the 16 HP motor rebuilt. He then put it on the 149 since the 14 HP was already on the 169. He said that the motor runs OK but has some "piston slap" at full throttle so he just left it on the 149 and is calling that a "parts" tractor.

Does anyone know what he may be refering to when he says "piston slap"?

Thanks in advance,

Rob
