'99 Base model engine trouble.

Bought the car a year ago from a shady dealer, I then brought it back 3 times for an oil leak to be fixed within a month. He said it was fixed every time, didn't say what he did or what was wrong. After the month it started making this knocking/squeaking noise and would keep stalling. I stopped driving it because I didn't want to totally wreck the engine (if it already wasn't). Never got the dealer to do anything serious about it so it's been sitting. I'm still curious as to what the hell is wrong with it so I figure I'd see if anyone on here had an idea. Here's a video of the noise it's making:

Took off the valve cover and the cams look to be in decent shape, and the timing belt is in good condition. No idea if the timing is right though, it's hard getting around down there.
