Default stupid car

Dropped my car off at the shop b/c it was ticking from the valve cover. Turned out to be 4 bent pushrods. Anyways i picked the car up today and drove it for about 30 minutes then bam more ticking. i rolled up to a red light and the ticking got worse then i heard somthing else clanking around and the car started missing badly. My whole car was shaking lol it felt like i had a huge cam in there. So i had it towed back to the shop that did the work. The wrecker drivers were 2 foriegn dudes and one of them kept ripping ***...god it was awful. I guess when it rains it pours.

yeah im leaning more towards a rocker arm came loose thus the two sets of ticks i heard. Its not a speed shop but the guys that work there have some pretty sick cars and know there stuff. The owner is cool and has always treated me well so hopefully everything turns out ok. I kinda want to be there when they pull the valve cover off to check things out myself.
