Cleaned and tidied everything up and now car is driving as good as new.
thank you everyone for the suggestions and encouragement. I was intimidated by the job but its actually not as bad as I had anticipated. Valve cover took about 3 hours and oil pan took about 6 hours or so... definitely not bad at all with the right tools! Almost got robbed of $9000 for a new engine -.-

Very glad to hear you got it sorted out and running!
You might still need a new engine some day anyway due to accelerated wear that hasn't manifested itself just yet, but at least you won't be robbed out of $9000 for it.
Now I'm just wondering where the glitter comes from when these belts get sucked in.
