Got it from a boneyard, but the engine looked spotless in the interior. Who did I have to piss off though, to get a bad clutch/flywheel AND engine?

3) Tapping sound at low RPMs, goes away at about 2000. Sounds like its coming from lower engine. Just changed the oil, seemed to get better but still there.
4) Hissing/scraping sound, NO CLUE what the hell it is. Quiet but prominent, can only hear it when I'm driving next to a car or wall. Non-existant at idle, revving engine with clutch pedal down still causes the sound so its not the bad clutch/flywheel.
5) Excessive oil in intake. Not coming from the engine. No ideas.
Those are the 3 that need solving the most, particularly the hissing/scraping sound. Never heard anything like it before. I don't need to hear that I should be upgrading to 3L (unless you wanna help me pay) or putting a new engine in, I need help solving these problems.
