changed plugs now have a tick

I changed the plugs and the oil today and now I have a tick coming form around the 2 and 4 cyl.

I made sure that they were not cross threaded. I had Bosh Supers in it, not I put A/C Delco's in. What did I do? I checked the wires too. I feel so stupid.

Thanks
Chris

it's either a spark jumping to ground or compression leaking. if it's compresion you ought to feel it with your hand, if it's spark you don't want to feel it with your hand

If it is a spark jumping somewhere, try looking at the engine in the dark. Turn off the underhood light at night, and if there is a spark going somewhere it shouldn't it ought to be easy to spot it in the dark.
