    Change the oil and put straight 50 wt. back in it, see what happens. If it's piston slap, that should quiet it down. I didn't say it will cure it. Nothing short of a piston that fits the bore will cure it, but at least you can find out what it is.
    I had a cracked piston on #1 SBF a few years ago. Pretty loud.
