Remove your oil filter, cut it at the base, all around, and look between the plates of the filter for any bearing material. If it is a rod bearing you will see small silver flakes in the filter. Also, while the car is running, remove the connector, one at a time, from each coil, and see if the sound stops. If it is a rod bearing, the sound will stop when you pull the affected pistons connector. But if the sound continues it's most likely a lifter. It's possible that what happened is that you damaged a lifter. A bad lifter does not always make that rhythmic ticking sound you expect. I have heard what you would swear is a bad rod bearing, but if fact turns out to be a lifter. It's worth a shot before you go pulling the motor.
