So I have had this loud ticking coming from my motor ever since I over revved it a while back, I thought it was coming from my comp cam rocker arms because when I puled their bolts they were bent slightly. I replaced those and now it seems the noise is coming from the middle of the engine in the same rhythm as the arm's tick. So I thought it may be a lifter for a sec; but the I look down and see the balancer wobblen around down there (a new one mind you) and it actually looks like the crank it moving with it to..
could I have shot a bearing and its the crank making that noise bouncing around? IDEAS?

Im just guessing/problem solving here, please correct me with the solution!

well one thing for certain, you cant run the motor like that.

Start by pulling the lifters out to inspect the rollers for damage and looking for bent pusrods for the valves.

Check for an exhaust leak first before you go tearing it apart.
