scoping the bore when doing your next spark plug change is probably the best way to see what, if anything, is going on in there.

Thanks,
- At what mileage can you expect slapping, if it's going to occur? (I realize how it's been driven plays a part)
- Do they all do it? Or is this an IMS type thing, some fail and others go a zillion miles?
