Car runs decent except for at the range from 2-2.5k, there IS power loss within this specific range of rpm. Both Acceleration and Deceleration are Effected (as well as a no load condition ~Neutral).2 videos:
In Video: I suspect chain guide problems, quite evident in this video, 2-2.5k problem not as clear.

In Video 2: In the garage the noise is abit more amplified, after idling, Some out of gear 2-3k revving. Notice the buzz, rattle, and almost a gurgle type noise.

History:
Oil does need to be changed soon, however I don't feel this being the cause of the problem. Oil levels have been checked. So Check Engine, or Check Oil (Which I'm assuming is both a pressure and oil level check light? correct me if i'm wrong) So I pass on that.
It's just when driving any gear, any condition cold start to hot, it's consistently replicable. Noticeable power loss at this range however once passed in rpm you feel the greater acceleration change. Clutch does not slip.
There was one weird accident that happened the previous day. Drove all day got near 6 o' clock and while driving 45-50mph the car began to become unstable. The rpm gauge the sore left to right with no change of throttle. All gears and rpm's where affected, Engine cut out twice while in motion, (my suspicion fuel or fuel comp) after parking, letting sit briefly restarting seemed fine. Has not happened since then (2 days ago)
My overall solution / plan of action would be a rebuild. Hitting the 140xxx Mark. If this is the best solution, or if is not please let me know, any help would greatly be appreciated.
