Ca's don't have rocker arms, it does however sounds like a spun bearings.

Check your oil for some metal in it.Another way you can check for spun bearings, it doesn't always works, but I have checked an engine with this method before and I caught a spun bearings.Remove all sparkplugs out, bring cylinder #1 all the way to the top. take a long screw driver and stick it on the top of the piston, If you feel the piston went down just a tiny bit down, you have a spun bearing on that piston, if not, bring piston # 2 all the way to the top and do similar process, same with cylinder #3,&4, until you see which piston kinda sinks down a tiny bit. Remember, this method doesn't always works. The other method is to remove your oil pan and inspect each bearing by removing the connection rod bearings out.

Good luck,

It all depends how much damage happened. The min thing, is replacing the rod bearings, which you can have them replaced while the engine is still in the car by remove the oil pan and then removing the bad bearings and installing the new ones. But if it has been doing this sound for few days now and you have been boosting it, chances that you might have caused some damage to the crank itself, which in this case depending how severe the damage is, you either need a new crank, or you can get it machined and have new bearings with different grade fitted.
