For one thing you added too much oil....

Total system capacity for cars with front oil coolers is 13 qts...but 3 qts stays behind...refill capacity is typically 10 qts max...and you "ease" into this value by adding maybe 8 and topping off slowly as required...drill is car running at idle ( 880 rpm)..on a FLAT surface...and up to temp ( say 190 degF). If any one of these is incorrect..then oil level procedure won't work right.

Can't offer comment on removing broken head stud piece and/or tightening head stud...but this changes things. People who've added hydraulic chain tensioners also state that engine sounds different afterwards.
