Tick, clack, knock, clunk, exhaust, valve covers? Please be a lot more specific.

Engine?
If the tick is proportional to how hard you're stepping on the throttle, I'd say exhaust manifold gasket.

No, spark plugs never come loose in modular engines. Especially not in pre-'08 5.4's.... Good call actually.
