That thumping noise is the valves not opening fully and that horrible tapping banging noise I bet is the lifters just getting beaten up by the cams - it's finally gotten to the point where they can come apart and it's out of adjustment and it's slapping it.
Also... Nothing unusual in here:

Metal filings y0h!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, hate to say it, I thought you said the cams eating themselves only happened on teh V6s and the 150 ARLs? Oh nope, that's a 130 with it's cams eaten!
EDIT: f*cking fail, how didn't I notice this earlier, you haven't had the cams out, no?

In which case that lifter you've taken a photo of being dished is f*cked - that is currently stuck DOWN - you shouldn't be able to see it like that, see the position of the next lifter, that's where it should be... That noise is the valve stuck open and the piston bashing the valve home each stroke...
Now it's been taken to 5000rpm like that, you can guarantee it's got a bent valve stem, definitely new lifters time...
