I was taught to put oil on the threads years ago. I continued to do it up until I changed the plugs on my 4R (I used anti-sieze). Check it again in another month or so and see if it's there...it probably won't be.
You don't say what year your 4R is - but my 4G ticks too - as do most others. There is a thread here somewhere that shows how you might be able to reduce it. It doesn't bother me too much so I can't vouch for how effective it is....but others have said it works.
Oh, and welcome to the board.
