maybe a warped head, inproper head guides..
What timing belt did you use? and is it set on there correctly? You could be 180* off...

If you mean Tom@Payn Technology's then yes I do.B16 w/gsr head would use B16 head bolt/studs.Have you got the head of yet?Make sure the head gasket is installed with "up" facing the head.

check your ground wires/make sure you have the valve cover ground & tranny ground wires grounded properly, and the wire harness ground.

as far as the clank noise i have no idea.....but about the oil...sounds to be like your HG is on wrong....look at it it says "up" on it...that has to be facing up and the word has to be on the back of the head towards to firewall.....
