Ok, so yesterday i goto start my car, and its making a REALLY weird sound. I cant really take a sound clip or anything, but it sounds like something broke and is now settling somewhere. Whenever i try and rev it makes a sound as if the engine is gargling metal? Its coming from the back close to the firewall, and it wasnt anything i can eye down. I just dont know what to do. Ive lost a bit of power, which is rediculous cuz my ST is already slow as....so i feel like an old lady. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Its a consistent sound, it just gets louder when i rev higher.

well 4 qts of oil doesnt just vanish, it either leaks out or burns out. if you burned 4qts i'd think you'd know about that. honestly your engine is probably dead from a mechanical stand point. the damage has been done and it will seize if you keep driving it. stop driving it till you repair or replace the engine, otherwise it will literally explode like a grenade and send parts of it through the block and out of the oil pan. if you're going to repair it, you may as well take the chance to put in better rods and pistons, either low cp for FI or high CP for NA.
