Wow, 7K miles and those are results of your compression tests. Just curious. Are you the original owner?
no sir i just bought it. i think its had 3 owners before me. the last owner was the one who had the motor rebuilt. i have all the documentation for the work. says everything was redone bottom end top end. whats retarded is they didnt do the cylinder head cooling mod!?
You always need a compression test before buying one of these cars. Doesn't matter if it's a factory motor or a rebuild. 7 tenths of a mile is plenty long enough to melt a piston if things are not correct with tune/fuel delivery. 7000 miles is a long ways.
One thing I noticed is its tuned by kurgan (reputable tuner btw)....but I see you are in California. Did Kurgan have the car dialed in on a 93 tune? I'm assuming San Diego you only have 91 available. If you never got a retune for 91....that could be problematic
I have not done it.
Don’t see passenger side low often.
But between the 2 cylinders I’m assuming it’s a piston noise vs head.
Oil change will always quiet a tick but only a short time 30w is thicker.
Strange our Toyota runs 0-20w and doesn’t burn anything. Also 32v motor

whats funny is when i turn the AC on the tick goes away? lol
Well, that's odd. But....I think you posted it looks pitted inside the cylinder most likely detonation....the compression number was not good....I'm afraid the motor is going to need to be yanked

yes it isIs this an Oxford White Cobra?
No getting around it, the engine will have to be pulled I'd you want it fixed. You'll learn a lot doing most of the work yourself, if you so chose.
All of this.
Your engine was rebuilt not original
At 7k. Try again.
The ac adds a load to engine which in turn stops noise.
Older cars were like this when bearings went.
Drive in 2 or 3rd noises went away till engine could relax
