I am new to the forum but really hope someone can help. I am running a TAMD41B in a 24ft Cleopatra. The engine pulls well giving 22kn at 3700rpm clean exhaust and very smooth with stable water temps. My issue is with the oil pressure. On start up there is a distinct delay of 2 to 5 seconds before the alarm stops and the pressure registers, when hot the idle pressure shown is approx 20psi with 45 shown on throttle up. I am concerned that this may damage the turbo bearings! I have replaced the oil and filter with Volvo oil and filter but had difficulty removing all the oil through the extraction pipe with a fair bit of the old oil seemingly out of reach despite every effort. Any ideas welcome!
