My engine has a ticking noise that speeds up upon acceleration and you cant hear it about 2k rpms.... anyone know what this is/or how to fix it?

sounds like your valve clearance needs re-shimming or adjusting .. or is it more a knocking sound?

No adjustment possible - the K-series have hydraulic adjusters, but they can get noisy. Or it can be the backlash-removing thingy between the camshafts. Or it could be the alternator drive belt tensioner.

Do some searches - it's all been covered.
