My concern is that if I use these thick fluids, it will block oil passages to the head and perhaps cause trouble with the hydraulic lifters on the KA-E.
My E already has a nasty valve tick after runs where I have sustained high steady state cornering loads, so there are already problems in getting oil up there.
Does anyone have experience with additives like these on a KA24E engine?

Matt,
Have you tried Seafoam in the Crankcase & Fuel tank??

It might help clean up the excess carbon buildup on both the pistons & valves. It can also help clean up some of the sludge buildup in the crankcase. It's a cheap alternative & might help stop your oil burning. Should hold you over till you replace the engine.
