More oil questions? Options

[mike_the_man]

After reading the oil temp topic I've come up with a couple more questions about oil related issues.

I've noticed that when taking a hard left hand corner or a longish left sweeping corner, then getting hard on the gas, I hear a loud clattering. My guess is that the lifters are being starved of oil. If I get off the gas, the sound goes away. I've tried overfilling a little above the high mark on the dipstick, and I still get the sound.
It only seems to happen on lefts, not rights.

So, is it likely that the engine is starving of oil? What side of the case is the oil pickup on? I have a general understanding of the oiling sytem in a TIV, but I'm certainly no expert. Any thoughts? Solutions? I don't want to bugger anything up!

Cheers,
