It was about 6 days of driving back and forth from school and before the rebuild it was a great oil burner when going around a right corner(under side of the original intake manifold was cracked). For those 6 days of what I thought was a faulty oil pressure gauge(learned it was mechanical) turned out to be no oil.

Since I went through the valve train on the passenger side with the noise I'm thinking the crankshaft rod journals weren't looked at.

*EDIT*
So I found this thread and it's the same of what I'm dealing with so I'm gonna look at the exhaust and see if tightening it does anything and if that does nothing then ill try oil through the carb and hopefully that will give me a sign.
