Default 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee engine tick

Hello all!

I need some help tracking down an engine tick on my 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I just got done cleaning the engine bay, replacing the plugs, wires, and distributor cap & rotor. The engine turns over great but I'm noticing a pretty substantial engine tick. I linked a video below so you can hear it. Before the parts replacements, the tick was there, however it seems louder now. This may be due to the fact that I was sticking my head in the bay after starting to look at the work.

Not to my knowledge. If there is one its imperceptible to me. Is there a way to check for sure?
