Hi Volks, Ding ding ding.... We have a winner!!!!
After sitting for about 14 hours, I went out this morning and turned it over... the oil light promptly went out and the noisy lifter sound is gone. Thanks everyone for their assistance. I am much relieved that I am not having to do the job over today. Now I'm heading back outside to wash the residue off the rear hatch and enjoy a nice spring afternoon!
