Wrong plugs?

After replacing my shattered oil pump drive gear, timing belt, and decided to replace my plugs since I've had them sitting here for 10 months, I have noticed my valves clicking at idle only.

What I am wondering is if they gave me the wrong plugs, I have a GE and the plugs I got I had to re-gap them quite a bit. I don't remember the plug numbers they were NGK's. If they gave me the turbo plugs, which I think the gap was set at, would that cause the clicking that I am hearing?

Oil pressure is 70 cold start and 20 at idle, 45-50 at 3k after warm up.

I double checked the cam marks and TDC also the timing is at 15 deg. AFR at idle is 13.5 cold and 14.5 warm.

Thanks

Maybe I can rephrase, would running a turbo plug, which I think is hotter, cause the tapping? This just happens after it's warm and at idle or at least that is when it is more noticeable.

I wouldn't think so. I ran 2jz-ge plugs for a while in my 7mgte without any trouble. They were just a little longer.

My plug numbers did they give you? I usually run brk-7e's (or something like that...might be bkr-7e) in my car with no problems.

...and I always have to regap plugs. I've never had a set that I didn't have to regap...ever.
