But then again im not sure of what these motors are supposed to sound like.
[3] Also clutch releases at very top doesnt feel like its engaged 100%, wore out clutch? Or is it adjustable? I am going to enjoy it for sure.
[4] Also it locked me out of it cant get inside of it for now until i figure something out..

1- Check the tps, there is a thread here (use the search to find many tech threads) that shows how to check and adjust it.
2- Lifters may need to be cleaned. These engines are sensitive to the oil used. You may want to try some 'SeaFoam' in the crank for a day before the next oil change and see if that frees them up.
3- Yes, the clutch is adjustable. Under the hood, behind the radiator you will find an adjustment nut. Back the nut out until you have approximately 1/2 inch of free travel at the pedal. I find it best to use my hand when checking the travel as my foot is way to heavy and unsensitive.
4- If you know any one with a Metro or other Suzuki vehicle, try using their key. Wiggle the h-ll out of it and it may let you in. A coat hangar is hard to use on these with the way they set up the lock mech. A long, flat bar, with a 90* twist in the middle will reach the lock from the outside and let you in. Also, here in lovely, downtown, Virginia Beach, the 'YellowCab' company will send a tech with lockout tools to you for the unbelievably low price of $25.
Have fun.
