So nothing but questions today.
Got my engine back in my 94, got it all filled up with coolant fluid power stirring fluid all good to go.
I manually primed the oil pump with the engine out, then I turn the engine over quite a few times without any fuel to the engine.
Engine started right up ran just fine and then a tapping noise started. Oil pressure shows good but the check oil light is on. There's 5 quarts in a pan and a pan seems a little full on the dip stick.
The tapping almost sounds like the passenger valve cover, but then I went underneath the vehicle and it sounds like it's coming from underneath stronger. It actually sounds like it's coming from between the engine and trans. It's a manual transmission.
The oil pump I put in was a high flow Melling oil pump.
It's weird that it says check oil but shows good oil pressure.
Edit, tapping does not increase with throttle.
