Did you just buy it or have had it for a while ?? , if you have had it for a while , i am guessing the noise just started ??
It could be timing chain , but its hard to tell , if its the quick ticking that increases with RPM , then that is what i would say it is , the timing chain , other than that the rest of what i think i am hearing sounds "normal"

Since you know the owner , it will be easy for you to get that info , and if the chain has not been changed (especially if it has not been done since new) , then it definitely needs to be done , a lot of people go to a Manual chain tensioner for the timing chain , i personally prefer the stock self adjusting one , i have not had one fail , but they do fail occasionally , the chain , just stretches over time , and is considered a "wear" item , and is usually replaced with each Piston change
