A method of distinguishing piston slap from engine knock in a reciprocating device includes obtaining a fundamental frequency of a cylinder, the cylinder having a thrust face and an anti-thrust face, receiving a first signal from a first knock sensor mounted on the cylinder, and identifying piston slap by evaluating whether a first plurality of amplitudes of the first signal at the fundamental frequency and one or more harmonic frequencies of the fundamental frequency exceed a piston slap threshold value.

1. A method of distinguishing engine knock from piston slap in a reciprocating device, comprising: obtaining a fundamental frequency of a cylinder, the cylinder comprising a thrust face and an anti-thrust face;receiving a first signal from a first knock sensor disposed on a cylinder;determining whether piston slap is present, by evaluating whether a plurality of amplitudes of the first signal at the fundamental frequency and one or more harmonic frequencies of the fundamental frequency exceed a piston slap threshold value; anddetermining whether engine knock is present, by evaluating whether the plurality of amplitudes do not decrease as the one or more harmonic frequencies increase. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more harmonic frequencies are whole integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the one or more harmonic frequencies comprise first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth harmonic frequencies. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first knock sensor is disposed on the thrust face of the cylinder, and is oriented perpendicular to an axis of piston travel within the cylinder. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a user perceptible indication of the presence of piston slap. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying that piston slap is not present at a frequency if engine knock is present at the frequency. 7. The method of claim 4, further comprising: receiving a second signal from a second knock sensor disposed on the anti-thrust face of the cylinder; andsubtracting the second signal from the first signal to derive a piston slap signal. 8. A system, comprising: a controller configured to control a reciprocating device, wherein the controller comprises a processor configured to: obtain a fundamental frequency of a cylinder, the cylinder comprising a thrust face and an anti-thrust face;receive a first signal from a first knock sensor disposed on the cylinder;determine whether piston slap is present, by evaluating whether a plurality of amplitudes of the first signal at the fundamental frequency and one or more harmonic frequencies of the fundamental frequency exceed a piston slap threshold value; anddetermine whether engine knock is present, by evaluating whether the plurality of amplitudes do not decrease as the one or more harmonic frequencies increase. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more harmonic frequencies comprise first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth harmonic frequencies. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the first knock sensor is disposed on the thrust face of the cylinder, and is oriented perpendicular to an axis of piston travel within the cylinder. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to provide a user perceptible indication of the presence of piston slap. 12. The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to: receive a second signal from a second knock sensor disposed on the anti-thrust face of the cylinder; andsubtract the second signal from the first signal to derive a piston slap signal. 13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions that when executed cause a processor to: obtain a fundamental frequency of a cylinder, the cylinder comprising a thrust face and an anti-thrust face;receive a first signal from a first knock sensor disposed on the thrust face of the cylinder;determine whether piston slap is present, by evaluating whether a plurality of amplitudes of the first signal at the fundamental frequency and one or more harmonic frequencies of the fundamental frequency exceed a piston slap threshold value; anddetermine whether engine knock is present, by evaluating whether the plurality of amplitudes do not decrease as the one or more harmonic frequencies increase. 14. The non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions of claim 13, wherein the first knock sensor is oriented perpendicular to an axis of piston travel within the cylinder. 15. The non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to: receive a second signal from a second knock sensor disposed on the anti-thrust face of the cylinder; andsubtract the second signal from the first signal to derive a piston slap signal. 16. The non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions of claim 13, wherein the one or more harmonic frequencies are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. 17. The non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to provide a user perceptible indication of the presence of piston slap.
