  Hmmm, Honda claims that PISTON SLAP??? is responsible f
or "diesel knock".  I always thought it was from the rapid pressure
rise, at least according to about EVERY description I've read on 
it.  How do you get much slap out of a .0005 space anyway?
  They also attribute the clean running to the use of EGR.  Hmmm.
