If it is just piston slap, it can be lived with for quite some time. My silver has had it ever since I bought it nearly 2 years ago. Since that time, the trans blew the high clutch and I continued using it as a city car but also had to make a few short highway runs at times where cruising at 55 mph ran the motor at about 4500rpm and maybe a little higher as its been awhile since I've driven it. It has survived on the same oil since shortly after I bought it and its been about 7000 (hard) miles. So basically, it will last and run just fine, just could be something to plan for in the future but not necessary immediately if that is the case.

As so-cal said, it could just be a lifter in which case there are a few tricks that could work.
