This is getting long-winded, but the point of all this is durability of your motor for years to come by extending lubrication charicteristics of your oil system. The seperate pieces, the bearings and the turbo are to be considered. The sound I'm hearing on start-up without pulling the stop cable...

As Cranetruck says, This is a variable also. Which leads me to wonder about such items as Duralube which claims to adhear to the crank journals and bearing caps, (And everything it touches) for a greater amount of time, before the coating of lubrication is exhausted and not on the surfaces but...

Air pressure is ultimatly unimportant in that it is only needed to run aparatus's that operate in the air system, and are entirely seperate from the oil system, which is VASTLY more important than air supply My suggestion is let the air build slowly, its not anywhere as important as lubrication...

I'm a little stumped here, so I re-read as Westex said, and heres my thoughts. Supose a multifuel takes a certain amount of revolutions after start-up before the oil arives at the galleys and initally starts lubing the bearings. Lets sa this amount of 'crankshaft' revolutions amount to say 600...

I start up and listen for the oil to arrive at he bearings, about 10-12 seconds, at which time it sounds different 'quieter' and after that increase the idle till it is smooth, somewhere about just under 1,000 (if my tach's right), mabe 800 rpm, and idle there for several minuates before...
