Ticking after Sparkplug swap. 91' N/A

Just bought the car afew weeks ago, Thought i'd give it a tune up. Flushed fluids, and oil change.
After changing the sparkplugs noticed a tick from the driver's side of the engine bay.

I just hand tightened them. Maybe one's on too loose?
What Torgue are the NA plugs suppose to be at?

Car runs fine to me. Maybe little hesitation?

Torque

Spark plugs torque to 11 to 14 ft-lbs or 15 to 20 N-m

I read up on another thread about adding Valve medic with oil change to lower valve noise.
Already had a new oil filter on there so just did an oil change with 1 quart of that to ratio. Oil levels are fine.
Ticking stopped, Was so annoying.
Engine has alot of miles, just trying to keep her going till i finish my other
N/A engine.
