This is why threads go off-topic in Mitsu Tech and end up getting locked. Yes its the internet but I figure if you have a DL you have to be 16+ and as far as I know no 16yr old or older act like a middle school even yet an elementary school student. There's humor and there's stupidity. Using "vtak" or "crankwalk" every other thread is a bit old and childish. Get over yourselves.

Right and you obviously know what one sounds like... a human that sounds like a female dog... classic. This is why Mitsu Tech is a playground instead of an actual tech forum... its not suppose to be fun its suppose to be informative with the occassion of having a good time. This is why I go days without posting here, nothing serious comes out of this forum. The one's who ask for opinions get offensive, those who ask for help get little to no help with the always too abused "vtec" "vtak" "crankwalk" remark. I guess I've gotten too old or is it matured to realize something that was once funny is not funny anymore. Oh well... I see where Mitsu Tech is going...

Back on the original topic of the thread-
If I had to guess the nut is probably sitting in the oil pan if you didn't see it in the head. It's probably ok down there, but I'd run something down the oil drain passages to make sure it's not lodged and disrupting oil drainage. A friend actually had a head come back from Clearwater Cylinder Head with improper torque on the cam caps that was partially responsible for the head seizing up. When the head was taken back to them they noticed that another factor had played a part in the failure, but owned up to overtorquing the bolts and rebuilt the head again. No shop is infallible, even a good shop like CCH. I would check the torque on everything accessible just to make sure.
