My rebuilt engine, no warranty has piston skirt knock. After 10 minutes of running knock which I only hear at idle goes away. How long can engines last with this problem?

Very difficult to tell how long it may last. Are you sure, it is piston skirt knock? Very odd to have on a newly rebuilt engine knock
