Default TICKS at high RPM, loses power, misses.

as in the post i did below, i think the motor is blown. when driving when i get get higher in RPM's the motor ticks loudly. while accelerating, when the RPM's get high enough the ticking starts, and i also lose power.

i posted a video to youtube, valve cover removed to check oil flow

any ideas before i swap this motor?
