Did you over-tighten the valve cover, torque is like 8 ft lbs, you probably didn't b/c you would have stripped the holes. Sludge is not normally reported on the V6, maybe you loosened up something, or some sludge fell into the lifter tubes? I don't know how oil gets up into that area, maybe you blocked an oil hole with some loose sludge? You didn't fiddle with the camshaft bolts, did you? COuld be you're just more attuned to the car's noises after being so intimate with it? I have noticed such a noise when I was low on oil, until the pressure rose when the engine warmed. Couldnt' hurt to use some cleaner. Sorry, this probably doesn't help.
