Rod knock?

Sorry to hear about your situation. From your post, it sounds like you might have popped a rocker. Check your spark plugs, look for any breaks on the tips. If ok, you might want to pull the cover and check out the rockers. Also, see if the chain is on properly. Don't hesitate to ask for some local help. Being from Cali you should be able to find some nice board members to help you dig into the engine (hint hint ). Best of luck on the diagnosis, hope it works out. Let us know what you find out.

It appears that you have done a good job of assessing the situation, unfortunately to no avail. What I would do now, and I'm sure Brad agrees, is to try and contact some locals to help. Maybe start a new thread in the SW Forum? Worth a shot... use those around you to assist (just as you have posted here). Do check those plugs though...
