I've just installed a new

I've just installed a new D2-40 engine. It came filled with oil. The oil pressure starts out at 58 psig and drops steadily to 21 psig (42 minutes later) when I have the engine in gear at 1000 rpm. The cooling water temp rises normally and holds steady at 203 F (the high end of the normal operating range). Any idea what's going on?

"Yah, sounds like it's running well. Be sure to use diesel rated crankcase oil when doing oil changes."
