hi guys
as some of you will recall I took the head of my Vauxhall meriva and changed the timing chain ive put new air filter on and im ready to drop the oil however ive only had the car up and running a few days in which it was used for a 1 mile run and a 12 mile run to college today in which all students came to look at the engine and check its engine management system as we are all auto electrical student one of the students pulled of the oil filler and said the cams were dry of oil and the was no sign of oil in the head we turned the car off and waited then dipped the sump in which it had plenty. ive driven home with the car 12 mile and rechecked the cams the lobes were hot and dry wit a little mayo on the cap(as always with this car)
I presume the cams should be oil coated and how can I improve oil flow to the head, were are the blockages most likely as the head has been skimmed and cleaned
cheers
terry
