Hey everyone, i have a ka24E and after i push it kind of hard it ends up ticking and if i give it gas the ticking gets faster as the rpms goes up. i was thinking maybe the ticking lifter thing i read about? but this only happens after i drive it hard. its like its not getting enough oil or something it seemsl like because after i let it cool down for awhile or drive it calmly it stops ticking again. something to do with oil pressure? oil pump? Not sure, any other things to check for to help diagnose the problem? or anyone else had this problem? whats the sollution? theres a write up about the ticking lifters but it seems like in their case it always ticked. let me know guys, thanks in advance.

This sounds alot like wat my former ka24e did. I would be very aprehensive about driving it cause mine started knocking after a hard test run and during my race the next day the motor blew up. so i would recommend heavy investigation and very minimal driving so it doesnt end up like my ka.
