I am not really sure what your wrote. You should use punctuations.

I would say get rid of the shitty Bosch plugs and get a nice set of Copper NGKs. The ticking could be the rockers ticking but I am not 100% sure.

I would change the plugs and seal the valve covers and see if the noise is still there.
