EG33 and Piston Slap?

Hey gents, I'm having a nagging issue with my '96LSI. At 270+K mi it's developed a particular problem.

For the 1st 30sec, give or take, the engine knocks. Not anything like a death rattle, just a light tap. It's heavier than a lifter, but lighter than a rod. Are the EG's prone to the same piston slap that plagues the phase1 EJ25's, or is my engine just getting arthritic with age?
