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?

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,
