1992 Other Vauxhall Models 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 126.45 miles

hi, I have a calibra turbo(c20let)engine. Today I started it and the tappets sounded really rattly, I turned the car off and checked in the oil filler cap and I saw that the cams and the inside the cam cover were bone dry.I got plenty off oil in the sum, but I got no oil getting to the cylinder head. Can any one help me please

Hi there.

The first thing you must do is check the oil pressure with a master gauge, this swill give a true indication as to what is going on, do this test and report back the readings.
