Engine noise... Maybe a bent valve??? long

Ok, so I did a bone head thing the other day that ended up biteing me in the ass! I put some of that "stop leak/Noise" stuff that is supposed to stop valve noise, smoking, etc. in my 92' 900T. BIG MISTAKE!!! What started out as a small valve tap (I "think") ended up being a sound very similar to sticking a screw driver in a metal exhaust fan. My question, anyone know what happened or ever had this similar noise? When this happened I lost ALL power, the car would stay running but only if I kept on the excellerator. I am thinking that it is a bent exhaust valve but don't have the head off the whole way. I have everything off except the head bolts and the cam gears. I figure that since the damage is already done I am going to have my wife crank the car so I can get an exact idea where the noise is coming from. Any other thoughts as to what it may be??? THanks in advance!!!
