Ouch.

Sounds like the lifters mushroomed into the lifter bores. I'd take it to a shop to get them out. You'll need to hone/fill/rebore the lifter bores after that.

You may just want to junk the head if that's possible. If you've got an AAZ, I guess heads are hard to come by, so good luck either way.
