When I did my front seal, timing belt, water pump, etc... I got all kinds of gunk spilled out on to the converter. It did smell for a little while, as I think it got trapped in the insulation of the heat shield.
Can you pull your top section of your timing cover off, and check the slack of the timing belt.
I also may suggest that you remove all the accessory belts and restart. Just to make sure that you noise is motor noise and not something like a water pump. And I too recommend the stethascope, you can get one at sears or any tool store. If you never use it again, it will help you out in this situation.

I have serviced 3.0L SHO engines before that have had the timing belt tensioner pulley spring mounted incorrectly. This causes a reduction in the amount of pressure the tensioner applies to the belt during the tension setting process. Once the tensioner nut is torqued down, this low belt tension is locked in place.
The spring should be installed so that it rests against the pin in the block and the pivoting tensioner. The tensioner is then installed to load the spring as the pulley is moved in the clockwise direction. I do not recall the specific locations of the pin and/or barrier that the spring contacts as it has been a while since I last viewed this part.
There is no reason to remove the tensioner from the block during any of the front end services except to replace the tensioner itself.
