Agreed on possible piston slap. The piston to wall clearance gets too big as the rings and liners wear, but closes a little when the engine is warm. You can re-ring the pistons if it's bad. The problem will be blow-by so you might get some oil burning. Oil analysis would show exhaust products in the oil, I believe.

No prob.

Btw, if this is happening, you might also have a lot of oil making it into your air intake boot and possibly all the way down into the intake filter. A little oil is normal from the vapors that condense there, but a lot means you've got some wear and tear.
