Maybe get a 4 wheel alignment,
and the rear tires won't wear, as for the valves tapping. That was covered under the three yeae/36,000 mile warranty. Why didn't you bring it back?
The valve cover, I have the same engine, I reused the same original gasket for the first two remanufactured heads, no leak, for the third, then fourth head that I made fit from a 2.0 I used a Fel-Pro. As for wheel bearings: Read above: "Wheel alignment.
Unaligned wheels put a lot of lateral stress on wheel bearings. For the tapping, I bet if you would have changed your oil regularly, you wouldn't have developed the tapping.
The Focus has the filter in the same place as the 2.2 that's in the Cavalier.
