First thing I would do is pull the pan and check for the nut. As for the ticking, if you just replaced the nut without specing the lash, that would be the culprit.
yea man, you are extremely lucky, that nut could have done some serious damage. i wouldnt drive it till i found that nut, thats just me tho
