Got the new water pump in, new timing belt tensioner new timing belt. Cranked it up to see if I got it right. Started up good, but very loud like no oil to top of motor. Has oil, no coolant yet (only ran about 60 to 90 seconds ) shows oil pressure in usual place. Any ideas or suggestions. After shut off could hear oil draining back to pan.

Yes, have since put coolant in it, who knew it acted as such a sound suppressant! Now runs but is low on power. I'm guessing I'm off a tooth or two in timing. Both front and back timing covers are broken and I have no reference marks.
