If the engine is leaking oil, you need to look carefully & see where the leak is, and then fix it. If it is burning oil, and the heads were rebuilt, it could be the valve seals got torn up during assembly, or that the piston rings are shot and the bottom end needs rebuilding.

If the cam is stock, there should be very little noise from the valve train, if a valve is clicking away it could be due to a loose rocker arm, or a bad valve lifter. The injectors always make a clicking noise, but it is very subdued ,a is not heard when the hood is down. If you are hearing a deep clunking sound, it is probably a bad bearing. Invest $15 on an engine stethoscope and probe around the engine to pin down where the noise is coming from.

Popping back through the intake could be due to a bad intake valve, crossfire, or bad fuel mixture. Banging out of the exhaust is usually cause by raw fuel exploding in the exhaust.

 

I had some oil leave from the valve cover gaskets on my '95 3.4L -- had them replaced and no more leak...
