The big killer on the Ka with regards to the oiling system is the oil pressure regulator. They tend to wear and get stuck in the pump cover resulting either no or very high oil pressure.

I would inspect the cover and regulator very carefully to see if it moves smoothly. If there are any scratches I would replace it and the cover. I killed my first rebuild due to this oversight. When I build my next motor I will just replace the whole thing for peace of mind.

PS: The cover and regulator are only $35 and $12 respectively over at Midway Parts Team.
