If your car does sound like that video then it is rod knock.
In agreement, leave it on a tender and only start it when you are going to drive it. Reason being the crankcase needs to reach 212*F to boil off any moisture inside.

Also there wasn’t any perceivable sound of knocking in that motor, just a lot of ticking which is fine that’s how these engines sound, maybe you guys are hearing something i can’t pick up
