May have killed a lifter and the engine isn't even running yet...

AHHHHHH!!!! Now I'm starting to get pissed I pulled everything off and it's still doing it. I was convinced it was something to do with the valve train or timing but now I don't know. All the lifters looked great and the cam is brand new. The sound is like this "Tick, tick......... Tick, tick............. Tick, tick.......... Tick, tick" it's very rhythmic but I can't figure out where it's coming from. Im down to the crank and cam being the only 2 things left in the block and it sounds about mid block

I wouldn't think so I just had the flywheel surfaced about a week before I think it would have shown up then if it was cracked
Curious if there's any difference in the crank sensors in an iron block and a aluminum block maybe something is hitting there. That's the LAST think I can think off that could make all the symptoms of ticking and misfiring...

Well car is back together and starts up and "runs" but not well it doesn't rev and die or any of that but it keeps having huge back fires about every 10 to 15 seconds. Haven't got to check the crank sensor yet but it's still got the tick. Don't know if they're related but its def loading up with fuel on one of the cylinders or something
I'm going to check the sensor tomorrow. Hopefully it's that and that's causing the cylinder to load up with fuel and I don't have a bad injector on top of the tick I already have
