Piece of debris through the intake during the swap could have come through on start up got lodged and smashed into the top of the piston, would cause the ticking until it flattened out, I know you would think major failure but when I welded up my intercooler pieces a few pieces went through and ended up like this, truck still ran great but I found it the next time I had the head off.

pieces of welding slag that is
