OK Diesel Pro's: Here's my question.
Today I sea trialed a 2001 34 Amberjack with twin CAT 3126 TA's. The port engine would only get to 2700 WOT with tabs up on flat water. The starboard made 2800 (which I understand to be what they are supposed to make). The engines were both on new filters and the props were just prop scanned.
I also noticed the starboard engine running about 10 to 15 degrees hotter and the oil pressure at WOT was about 20 psi higher as well when comapared with the port engine. This was as observed on the Sea Ray dash guages.
Should I be concerned, or will the two engines be just that, 2 different engines??:huh:
Any feedback appreciated.
