well  heres a update  i pulled the drain plug and had a large magnet right there and didnt get any kinda metal flake in the oil  put new filter and oil in had it runnin no churping sounds  then  it started duin it then stopped   after all that had i wound it  up too around 4000 plus rpms  let it idle shut off started back up severall times   soo im thinkin if there was something wrong internally  too the engine it would have  locked up or nocked  or atleast made some kinda noises        on another note  i found  a  3to1 t case  too put in there  going too get it next week
