REEEEALY MESSED UP MY ENGINE THIS TIME

ok so this is what happened, i floored it and it sounded like it hit the rev limiter then a loud screeching sound then it stopped and i kept driving normal without flooring it anymore and a loud hissing sounded started when the boost came up kinda like when the y pipe leaks. an hour latr i open up the hood and noticed it had puked some coolant and i went out for a drive and everything was fine except for the hissing sound that could be heard when the boost came up to about 20psi....then while driving at about 50mph a loud banging like sound started on the driver side of the engine so i pulled over and shut the engine off. then i turn it back on truck idles fine but theres a LOUD banging noise coming from the engine, sounds like its coming from the driver side, i took the valve cover off expecting to see a broken rocker arm or sumthing but no. has anyone ever experienced this? maybe i bent a valve? broken piston? sounds like a gasser engine with a spark plug removed, not unplugged REMOVED...sounds bad hope it can be fixed

Hissing sounds like you have a hole in a CAC boot, or blew a CAC boot off.
Knocking? Its possible you lost an injector. I've already seen more than 4 or 5 of these that sounds like the motor is toast and was a bad injector or 2.

Have you scanned it?
Any smoke? Color?

Pull the air intake and check the turbo impeller to see if you broke a shaft/turbo housing. That's at least a simple start. I'm thinking bent connecting rod worst case scenario. It's actually happened a LOT on some STOCK nontuned trucks here lately. I'm talking rods throught the block catastrophic. FWIW--my motor had a rod get bent from HIGH rpm's just enough that the rod was "tapping" the crank throw every time it came around. It sounded like a piece of sheet metal rubbing on the gear teeth around the torque convertor though. Not the banging you are describing.

the 1st sound i heard was kinda like what u describe the was at about 4k rpms and the banging sound started after an hour or so, it still idled fine except for the banging. will a bent rod or broken piston allow the truck to have a smooth idle?

My truck idled and ran "fine" but it was annoying as hell. Took a while to even find what it was after the motor was out and torn down. The rod was only bent a VERY small amount. I wouldn't think that would be your case though.

I'm willing to bet that the valves are just fine. I've seen a little valve to piston contact before with no apparent issues--LOL.
