What kind of warranty does this engine have? What is the oil pressure at start up using a mechanical test gauge?

Can you record the noise and upload it to a video hosting site and then paste the link in here?

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Yes, get the actual oil pressure as DS suggests. "Normal" for Sparta maybe but you can just smell not NORMAL! Hope the warranty is good,
