IF pistons are installed incorrectly, you get piston slap as you have never
heard. NOT a good thing. And as an extra you get a broken crank shaft.
I had an engine built by a supposedly good Corvair mechanic. Three
pistons were installed incorrectly, my theory is that they were sent to a
local machine shop who installed them for a 6 cylinder engine. And the
builder didn't catch the mistake.
Slap and broken crank. Builder did replace the crank with one I provided
and it broke.
At this point, I decided to do my own and for much less money.
