Most info I have found so far say it's pretty much 'built-in' to the design of the piston/motor. Designed to slap until the thermal expansion seats everything. But others say it could break piston rings at some point. I guess it's kind of like that fuel-leaking SR71. Leaked until the skin heated up at altitude. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself!
Really new one on me that it occurred as far back as 1972. I just heard of it over the weekend.
