BLITZ SPYDER

over the past few days, i've been pushing the car really hard tuning the afc & vpc set up. Well, last night, I started the car up, it had been sitting for a few hours and noticed a weird knocking sound coming from the motor..so i'm thinkin..oh..sh*t..I must'ah spun a bearing. When I opened up the hood the knock seems to be coming from the head/valve cover area..I dunno..thats what it sounds like to me. A friend mines suggested that the car may have jumped timing? in turn causing the valve/lifters to make that sound..what do you think? does this sound familiar? BTW, my car is a 2G, not sure if that matters.
 
so far, it looks like lifter failure...pulled the head off on Tuesday and dropped it off at the machine shop this morning. I think I also bent a valve or valves, but i'm not sure yet...
