Loose or stuck exhaust brake plunger when cold. I dont know if cummins have a procedure to monitor oil pressure in rockershaft, I know volvo does. You did a top set but maybe it would be good to take apart the engine brake rockers aswell.

Also if turbo is acting up, monitor exhaust gas pressure, is it stable when turbo is stable? Is it acting up before the turbo? I seen bad exhaust gas pressure connector make the value unstable but still valid and the turbo was acting up weird without setting faults for hours of operation before setting a fault.

Jake is off at the moment. I will go through checking what I can via quickserve. This is a different style than Im familiar with. Ive rebuilt the more condensed version on a newer ISX15, this one is like a '"spider" design. If theres any particular thing I should look for give me a shout.

Thanks
