Installed a low mileage jdm zc engine(long block) into my civic. used all stock components as i was told they were compatable. engine sounds like valves tap and has loud sounds like piston slap too. any ideas? Could this be a compatibility issue with the computer? please help?

Is there a good way to do this without taking out the engine?
