so if i had several rockers bust on me and spill bearings all over the place; does that mean my motor may blow? ill change oil before i start it again. doing trunion upgrade and swapping to correct valve seals. just hope this did not do permanent damage to my motor.

Several as in one or two, or as in like, 6? If you are breaking a lot of them, perhaps something is not set up right with the valvetrain? Either way, just change the oil and you can even run a strong magnet to try to get anything missed by the drain plug.

Same happened to me 25k miles back during a cam install but only 1 broke. Pan was dropped slightly and strong magnet ran in it to retrieve all the bearings

Was coil binding. Used wrong valve seals with dual springs.

They really can't go anywhere. Some may have fallen in near the lifters, you should be able to get a magnet in there. The rest will be in the head or in the pan. They are too big to get sucked through the pick-up. You should be fine.

Use a magnet pen through the oil drain hole to fish out any leftover needles. You might find some more in the oil changes to come.
