If the valve adjustments don't quiet it down much there could be some piston slap contributing to the cacophony.

I did confirm the oil pressure light comes on with key in pos 2 with all the other dash lights, but it turns off instantly when I start the car. Doesn't stay on. I'm hoping that's a good sign and I'm just looking at a rocker that needs to be adjusted._____________________________________________
