Lifter issue turns into a KNOCKING NIGHTMARE!!!

[97ClipseDSM]

Installed the TurboXS H-34 bov and Upper Intercooler piping today. Well, ive always had a lifter issue at certain rpms (during low oil pressure)..not on start up..it would always tick and was quite annoying from 2.6k-2.9k. Well, today after the BOV installation, took it for a test drive to see how the car runs with the new bov and if it eliminated the boost leak i had. It did, it pulled pretty hard, i didnt redline at all and shifted every 5k or so. This was the new motor i bought 2 months ago that only had 20k original miles on it. I compression tested the motor a couple weeks ago and got 184 181 182 182. Ok lets get to the point and what happened today. After the test drive, in the same rpm's that the lifter tick once was a pain and annoying, i started hearing a knock instead, and it got louder if i kept it holding in those rpms. Suddenly we saw some smoke coming out of the engine bay, drove back to my friends house and opened the hood and found the dipstick to have come out a little and causing the oil to spurt everywhere. So i got going home, and the knock was getting worse and worse..2 mins before i got to my house, it happened, it started knocking/grinding/power loss, i couldnt get past 20 MPh..and right before the turn to my block, it died, i started it back up & it did roughly but it would die again..so i put it in neutral and parked it. I checked the dipstick for metal..none. I dont know what wrong or whats going on. It didnt sound like the knock was coming from the bottom end but i dunno. How come a lifter tick suddenly changed into a loud knock, i dont know. If anyone has any ideas/suggestions..please let me know i will appreciate it..thanks

This could be a do or die situation, $7000 + later in repairs ever since march 04, and this just happened..i babied it ever since i got the new motor. What makes it worse is my last motor had a bottom end knock..and now this..what a bad experience

The company is located in Wisconsin. They go by a few different names, but one of them is Mid City. So yeah, be cautious buying anything from them. Not saying there a complete Rip off, but the symptoms of my motor show that i was lied to about miles and condition.

thanks for helping out the community! I hate shady parts people....
