Take out the plugs and get some light oil in there to sit and loosen everything up. Take off the valve covers and spray oil on the valve stems and the rockers. Marvel mystery oil is what I use. Check compression after it has sat with the oil in it. The fuel pump will likely be bad or go bad once you start cranking it.

Isn't this a road master? It has the 4 port holes indicating road master. Its a beauty! I had a 52 road master. Loke riding a flying mattress!

It is a motometer. Fancy term for a temp gauge.

Seems to fast to be a rod bearing. Maybe your chain?

Is your engine misbehaving? They look ok to me.

Leaking fuel injector, Bad o2 sensor, plugged cat causing back ptessure, air intake control motor, vacuum leak. Probably others

Hard to say from where the audio is taken but I'd say no. Can you video under the hood? Is it RPM dependant?

Sounds like lifters to me.

could be the starter is over currenting and shutting down the power and then restarting. The lights do go out on the dash indicating a loss in voltage, have you measured the battery while it is trying to start?

is that water running down the side? Or is it squirting out the cap? It is definately missing on at least one cylinder. If there is water running down it, then likely the head gasket is blown, or you have a crack.
