Thanks guys, right now its sitting at BW Subaru while I've been in touch with my insurance and researching the cost of repairs/swaps...its looking prohibitively expensive 
No idea where the oil pressure was at as the sending unit is dying/dead and the factory gauge is really erratic when it does work. I've been meaning to install a gauge for a long time (even bought that hyper-JDM Greddy kit) to avoid just this situation...eff.
If its indeed rod knock (which, if you were there to hear it, you'd also agree that it is), the motor is done. I read up on it in the past as it can be an after-effect of BHG...I think mine is relatively minor from vids/descriptions I've seen but its definitely there and no matter what, it warrants a full rebuild or new motor
This just puts me in a weird situation right now b/c I was planning on doing a few things then probably selling it after graduation and moving to a new car, but that being in Dec., the car being (probably) too expensive to fix, just puts everything up in the air.
