Exhaust smoke opinions

I am shopping for an R107, and came across one that has a video, where I would appreciate any opinions.
https://youtu.be/8nyhMDVF1zk?si=mCYewBuf_2ppUIkD
I am specifically interested in the engine revs at about the 4:22 point in the video. With each rev, there is smoke, follow by a distinct click or pop. Any thoughts on this? Best case to worst case?
Thanks.

NOt seeing video what color is smoke?
Blue tint = Oil burning issue
White puffy Sweet Smelling = Coolant burning issue

Light gray could be just moisture in exhaust system
