Long story, so yesterday I decided it's time to replace my timing chain tensioners before they get worse, I also had a very small leak from my oil pan. So we pulled the old tensioners out, drained the oil, replaced the oil pan gasket, got the oil pan on nice and tight. Put in new tensioners which was a pain in the ass, filled her up with oil. And when I started it, it sounded like it was running brand new, way better than I've ever heard it run. About a minute in and all of a sudden I hear a loud clicking/knocking sound, not even sure how to describe it. So I turn the engine off and hear almost like a peeing sound, we look under the car and all the oil we put in the engine is just straight pouring out. Not from the oil pan, not a drop came from there. It was coming FROM the engine. But not from either of the tensioners or the oil pan. I have absolutely zero clue what happened and really need some insight.
