I picked this up as a weekend fun car, it's started making this loud noise- Im guessing it's the rod? However, I'm not 100% certain, as it's hard to pinpoint. It seems to be coming from the upper right, near the valve area, but I'm not sure. I tried to probe it with a stethoscope, but I can hear the tick everywhere it seems....Any thoughts?

Sounds like a conrod planning a vacation. The VQ is known for burning oil, so yeah, check the oil level first. Hopefully it's not that.

 

If it's got oil, and the oil pressure light isn't on, check the aircon pump. Aircon off, blower off, see if the awful noise suddenly stops.
