Car is knocking really bad!

Took the my car out today and hit the rev limiter and it started to knock real bad from the valve cover. Also it's has a bas miss fire. What do you think it is?

Probably bent a push rod, pull the valve cover & look for loose rockers, then roll the push rod on a flat surface.
