Engine oil light is on, and sounds horrible, almost like piston slap, sounds like its whining while running, when I shut her down I hear a sort of a clank in the cylinder. Initially thought the whinning was the tranny low on fluid but the fluid levels are all good. Not sure if I'll tackle myself or take it in, really gonna depend on cost to have done and if I have the tools to do it myself.

If you are mechanical at all, I would tear into your cam chest asap and get ready to spend some cash on the SE hydraulic upgrade and cams/bearings.
Hope it all works out for you, but you may find some nasty damage in there too.

Bore your cylinders and pistons - $300+, cams - $200+, gaskets and bearings ~$100, Cyco replacement tensioners - $60, headwork - $300+. You can spend more doing the hydraulic tensioner upgrade or gear drives. Questionable whether its needed though. If you are hearing noises, you may have damage in your bottom end as well. Now start adding more zeroes to the end of everything.
