You might try getting the motor to operating temperature then put a piece of cardboard on the ground under the motor over night and see what's on it in the morning.

There is no oil in the water, or water in the oil... and the car will no longer run.... it just cranks...

Do the spark plugs look wet & greasy?

Spark plugs were dry as a bone.

Sounds like it's not getting gas now doesn't it?

Does, but why would the motor havea valvetrain noise secondary to no fuel? doesn't make sense....

I need to know where to get the correct puller for the power steering pump pulley. OR how to remove the ps pump and acc. bracket off the head without using a puller... ALSO I got the lower intake off and the rear coolant passages were almost completley blocked with gunk... could this have been the source of my problem?

When a motor gets hot enough to lose it's coolant, it's hot enough to severely thin out the motor oil to the consistancy of water and the hydraulic "wedge" between parts disappears. The parts go metal to metal and start destroying each other.
Another consiquence is the plunger inside one, or all, of the lifters let this super thin oil flow by, the plunger bottoms out making the ticking noise. If the feed hole gets clogged with burned oil, it won't pump back up.

The no fuel issue most likely is unrelated to your overheated motor problem unless you cooked some fuel injection parts...it is sitting on top of the motor.

Crap, the dexcool/stop leak tablet monster rears it's ugly head again, the Pro's can have this one, I'm too
