Well nevermind. I just had to take the spark plugs out so the pistons wouldn’t compress the air. I did find tons of metal shavings in the oil when I drained it out.

So I have gotten far enough to where I can see the crankshaft under the oil pan housing. Crankshaft seems fine so far. It’s just when I turn it by hand, there is a point where it is quite difficult to turn. It’s easy to turn on one portion of the rotation, then there is a portion where it is hard to turn.

I want it supercoated. Lol. I got it to idle through the grinding but not for long. All I really want to know is what would be causing this sound.

Well, it’s not the oil pump, because before I got the old one off, i thought it was because the harmonic balancer bolt was on too tight. I couldn’t even get it off with an impact wrench. I eventually got it off and at some point. After the job was done, the noise was still there. The oil pump is definitely the correct one. Looks like the exact same thing as the old one, it fits it and all. So I can rule that out.
When I had low oil pressure, there was a point when i was driving, where the engine just shut off on me. I thought it might have locked up. I was so close to getting home, so I cranked it back up and limped home. It did not run well at all. I did notice the engine was running louder than usual as if it wasn’t being lubricated. Hence me replacing the oil pump.
To make things even more fun, is I have to do all of this with the engine in the car. I have no way of taking the engine out. That would honestly make things easier.
