the oil was about the consistency of water and smelled like the varnished fuel i drained out of the tank.

i didn't do the oil trick but it seemed to have enough compression to start fairly easily. i think the 3 cranks was only because the fuel system was empty.

i ran it for about 5-6 minutes before i ventured up to 7000, i twas already the coolant temp was climbing, probably 1/4 up the gauge when i ventured into higher revs (only part throttle anyways) the "block" is easily 2+ miles around

it initially idled around 750ish but after the drive it was idling lower.

the beep was a 2-shot, "beep-beep.......beep-beep"

exhaust is a stock 2-cat (i think) system so it very well could be crap built up in the cats. it was smoking out the exhaust a little for a few minutes after i parked it.

I'll double check the M/C inside the car to see if its leaking there

Not really. Too much fuel will wash out the oil film in the engine. The fuel will make its way to oil.
