Again, the video is NOT of my car. Although my car did sound like that after start up. That being said, I wonder if it is just my lifters not being filled yet or I am in fact one of the unlucky few that had a misprinted gasket(although I did buy it a good 6 months ago).

I would try to turn the car over without it running. So take the fuel pump fuse out and crank it over til you have good oil pressure then start the car up. I do this anytime the car has been sitting a long time.

Both cars have been run, so cranking to build oil pressure isn't an option.

OTOH, it wouldn't hurt, as Mike said, to pull a cam plug and watch for an oil orgy, just to be safe.

yeah I am going to pull the plug and see the "oil orgy" as you so aptly put it. Really hope that I didnt get screwed with a faulty gasket.
