Hi all
New here.
I was told this is where to get all the right information.
So, I have 2 VP Kad44. 570 hours.
The other day after a beautiful trip, I was on my way in to the docks.
I lowered the rpm and saw that the oil pressure on one engine dropped and the alarm went off. I upped the rpm and the alarm stoped.
To day I tried to start up.
On cold engine I have around 20psi and 60psi on the “good” engine.
I have tried to change the oil pressure sensors from one engine to the other. Still low on the “bad” engine.
Then I changed the oil and filter. Still no change in pressure.
I am now lost for ideas what to do next.
Any comments or hints are welcome.
Hope the above makes sense
