As the title says I have a 1991 240sx hatch with the stock KA24DE that has not seen a rebuild to my knowledge. Today while driving down the road I noticed a clicking sound while accelerating in third gear around 3k RPM's... I know that the timing chains in the KA's chatter while at a dead stop and this sounds similar but a bit louder. It definitely is coming from the engine bay and the car is currently overheating after about 15-20 minutes of driving. The car makes this noise in each gear around 2500 to 3000 RPMS and goes off and on. I'm not very mechanically savvy and any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you very much.
