Well I drove it home late this morning as to avoid traffic.
Well, heres how I did things. And you'll probably see where Im going with this.
New oil filter, topped off, oil cooler topped off with oil, I "dry" started the car with no fuel or spark plugs to get the oil pump primed. Did about 6, 5 seconds spins of the starter and the oil light went away.
Installed spark plugs and ran the car for 7 minutes. Oil gauge showed half way consistent. Turned off let the engine cool. I changed the oil and oil filter, topped off the oil filter.
After the second oil change everything sounded a lot better.
Started her up drove around the neighborhood slow in first gear. I gave it a little gas enough to shift to second
and proceeded to come to a stop to pickup my gf, and thats when I hear what sounds like rod knock or some kind of like knock when the car is idling sitting still it first started, I dont remember if I was holding the clutch in. Oil pressure still showed half way. I remember the sounds of the lifters in the beginning and they sounded really bad, it was really loud and almost sounded like knock.
The strange thing is once I start to move into second gear speeds the sound goes away, or atleast I think it does. Its not hideously loud, but I notice it because the whole time its my worst fear, I swear I feel like the engine is made of butter...
Also when I was in reverse and I guess very slowly releasing the clutch, it made the sound really bad and at a quick frequency. So I'm wondering if maybe its the Throw out bearing as I don't remember changing it :X
I would get a video clip, but im afraid to risk more damage :X
This feeling sucks...
