Hey guys! could yall guide me on what's going on my car?

2 weeks ago it kind of stalled on me at the light after getting out of 1st gear and totally lost power not letting me rev the engine past 4k rpms.

Car sounded different almost like running in less cylinders.
Pulled over and the car started smoking white and then it turned into black.

The day I started engine work it started to do a sort of slap/knock when revving past 2k.

I proceded to do my valve covers, cleaned tb, plenum, and put fresh spark plugs and oil, sort of to start in a clean basis and start diagnosing from there.

When done the car started fine but the rattle/knock was still there.

Today my oil pressur dropped to 0 when I came to a stop, and my low oil pressur warning came on.

Oil pressur acts normal, operating temperature at 14psi and when revving at 4k rpms sits just at 60 psi. The oil pressur randomly drops and i just cant find a pattern.
When pulling over my car died but started back up rattle is not present at idle but when revving past 2k it starts.
