question about possible lifter noise

My 01 S developed a misfire several weeks ago. I shut it down and had it flat bedded to my house. It had a miss in cylinder 3. I didn't have time to tend to it and came back to it a week later. When I started it up, it no longer had a misfire-- I cleared the code and it was fine over several on/offs.

However, since that time it has developed a very distinct rpm-dependent tick that, based on my research, seems to fit the description of a stuck/underperforming lifter. Is it possible these two could be related, or that the miss could have created something else that would sound similar?
