The gas was new, it was almost on empty when parked and I filled up with fresh stuff today.

The knock(my buddy identified it as a knock..was general engine noise to me I'm not that well versed) is thankfully slight...the 'bend' as I put it was more like I crushed up the middle of it with the 2x4 I was using on the jack(stupid me).

I went to Advance Auto to see if they had a manual gauge this evening, they didn't so I'll try the old school auto parts store on the way to work.

I'm going to try not to run it at all the next few days until I check the oil pressure with the manual gage, I need to check transmission fluid as well as I think it might be a bit low.
