If you have water in the oil it could be a blown head gasket. The clattering/knocking you are hearing could be a result of the oil being thinned out. being torqued to 80 sounds right if you have head studs.
What head gaskets were used?

if they were under torqued it is possible that the vibration loosened the bolts id say pull the valve cover and make sure all the bolts are still tight and down if it lifted at all it would have blown out the gasket

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
I would be shitting a brick right about now. I can't imagine spending money on the heads and all just to f up my motor. Hell, I just bought this T/A this last week and now it needs rear end work and the motor has a nice tick... Oh well. I feel your pain at least OP.
I know exactly how you feel. I bought my car and threw a rod 6 days later.
