I inherited my '91 from my dad, who left me lots of opportunity to get it back to a reliable status.
I'll start with the most pressing issue first. It recently failed smog, after which I found an un-nutted exhaust stud (try saying that 5 times fast). I also ran some Sea Foam through the brake booster vacuum line and tightened up a belt that drives the alternator. Ever since that work, it makes this noise:

I don't know what is wrong. I first I though bent or broken valve, but it seems to idle too well for that. It went from some minor valve tick to this box of rocks.
Ideas? Thoughts?
