Look into piston slap
Does the 2000 E 350 have any major problems especially related to pistons?
They do seem to have a tendency toward "piston slap" until the engine is warm. That's where the bottom skirt of the piston wears a little and becomes small enough to rock a couple thousandths of an inch at the bottom of the stroke. When the piston rocks quickly it makes a sound that is characteristic of piston slap. That's the bad news. The good news is, the engine can run several hundred thousand miles with piston slap and as long as it goes away when the engine warms up... no problem. It's more of an annoyance than anything. But If you insist, you can have the engine rebuilt, spend a lot of money and MAYBE it will all clear up.

What is Engine piston slap will be more evident for?
Engine piston slap is more evident in cold engines, particularly during startup when the engine components are not yet fully warmed up and tolerances are greater. It can also be more pronounced in older engines with worn piston skirts or insufficient lubrication. Additionally, engines with larger bore sizes or those designed with looser tolerances may exhibit more noticeable piston slap.

Piston slap how long be for the motor blows?
Piston slap, a condition where the piston moves slightly within the cylinder due to clearance issues, can lead to increased wear and tear on the engine. The duration before significant damage occurs varies based on factors like engine design, driving conditions, and maintenance. If left unaddressed, piston slap can cause engine failure over time, potentially within a few thousand miles or even sooner. Addressing the issue promptly can help prevent severe damage.
