I don,t think you did any damage to your engine [ I Hope], it sounds like the battery or alt quit, maybe the solenoid is clicking, lets hope so. Good luck

Well I dont think its either the alt or battery...Cause it happen while i was driving..might be though..(i hope)...But the clicking sound very LOUD..And the car tries to turn on but just wont, and if i give it a lil gas it turns on....then right off..well i stopped messing with it until they come and check it..Damn...dont know what else to say..

Will the car still turn on if something in the heads would be messed up...Like Lifters,springs, pushrods, or anything else??

From what I understand the rocker arms are not adjustable unless you buy a different set, did you red line it? It could be all the above or a valve keeper let go. Hope nothing serious and it might run but not very well if at all. I don't think I would try to start it until you take of the valve covers off and take a look.

I had a belt come off one time and it made a loud clicking noise and wouldn't stay going...Alt belt I think..Not sure if it busted or just fell off.

With all the mods/issues you have been having lately.....you probably busted a valve spring/bent a valve/push rod......I am curious of your KR/A/F could be causing some detonation or lean conditions.

my lifters tick. it sounds like a sewing machine when i start my car. after it warms up it still ticks. when its cold and i go to accelerate it gets very loud, so usualy i let it warm up for a couple minutes and then go.
