Default ticking after spark plug change

i had a shop change spark plugs on my 2006 5.4 and they broke a plug off and had to pull head. after it was put back together it has a ticking sound that it did not have before. what could they have done to cause this?

First thing - take it back to shop for them to diagnose.
They should start by re - torque of each plug.
Could be a loose plug, leaky exhaust manifold and or numerous other possibilities.

Loose plug is my first guess. They're supposed to be torqued to 28 ft lbs
