Update:
Oil pressure is pegged at 5, I'm assuming the wires need to be switched. Will do that soon.

For the mean time, I have smoke coming out of basically the entire engine bay. Kind of from under and around the engine. I'm hoping that's from all the oil, coolant and liquid wrench that's been spilled on and around the exhaust/headers. It could also be the engine over heating because I wasn't able to properly bleed the coolant, but the temp gauge looks fine.

There's also quite a bit of smoke sputtering out of the exhaust even after warm up, not sure what that is.

The engine is also making a sputtering noise around the cylinders: https://youtu.be/edgtw73pU5U

No idea on what to do at this point. I guess I'm gonna start with a compression test and bleeding the coolant.

EDIT: I had put too much oil in I guess. I thought all the oil came out when this oil filter popped. I got some oil out and I don't think it's smoking anymore. It is night time and the smoke has been sort of difficult to see so I'll check again tomorrow.

There also seems to be water droplets coming down from the exhaust, not sure what the source is.

The sputtering sound is still there.

Coolant needs to be bled, I'm having a bit of a hard time with this.

Pressure sender wires need to fixed.
