popping at high rpm
I agree rocker gear and springs are a good place to start. I doubt you hurt the pump. Remember they only pump at half engine speed because it's cam driven. If you haven't already, pull the plugs and check for a closed gap or broken electrode. It's been run lean because you picked up 2 tenths by jetting up. Not likely, but easy to check. If your timing didn't change after this then i doubt you hurt the chain or distributor shaft. Was the valvetrain noisier after this happened? Even a stock bottom end and valvetrain can take a quick buzz to 7,000. I've done it, even a few times on purpose....lol. I'll keep thinking:-k and post if i think of anything else.
As a side note, what rpm were you "running out of engine" at on the top end? That combo should pull to 6K with no problem.
P.S. This is probably your cam.....
