The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Motor ticking

That sounds like it is relating to a valve, a valve lifter...something in the valve train, Anthony. Otherwise the engine doesn't sound too bad. If you get it started again you can also remove the valve cover (you can remove it before you start it) and then you can feel the 12 pushrods to see where the ticking might be. If it is a sticking or collapsed lifter you will feel it in the pushrod...the rod will feel loose and you should be able to "feel" the ticking. Or you can use a long screwdriver as I mentioned before as a sort of stethoscope. Thanks for posting the video!
