If it's a result of over-revving then it could well be 1 or more valves hit a piston bending them.
It's hard to tell though without checking a few things.

Could have damaged a lifter, take the rocker cover off and have a look for any damage

I'd just go with a worn lifter down to the massive over-rev tbh.
