I have gone through two cycles and the leaks are almost gone. Just leaking a little out of the passenger water pump. I re-torqued one time to 40 ponds and the head bolt leaks have seemed to stopped.

I was wrong, the ticking is not from #4, it seems to be coming from lower. When adjusting the valve lash I dropped a nail into the the exhaust valve and had to remove the driver exhaust manifold and use a magnet to retrieve the nail. I reused the existing exhaust manifold gaskets and think that may be the cause of the ticking.
