i dont know if you read my previous post about the problem i was having, but it got worse today

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9884

i was driving to work and i noticed if i pushed it any the car ran dead lean. when i got to work i noticed it shuddering really bad as i coasted to my parking space. the car shut off as i was about to park. i turned the car back on and popped the hood and there was a really really loud ticking, it didnt quit. thinking it was just hte lifters i turned the car off and went to work

come lunch break i went to go drive it, started it up, started pretty good, idling so so... went to drive it and it bucked really hard again. stopped it and parked it, checked the oil and noticed there were very small shiny bits in it... guessing metal bits

went to drive it to the local service station and the car sounded like a lawn mower and cut off me not 20 feet down the road, coasted it to a parking spot. went to start it up and would turn over. found a vacuum hose off and plugged it in. now it starts up but if you rev it any the car slowly dies

im guessing ive either got something bad with one of my cylinders, rod bearing, or a bent valve... any guesses?
