Was there much smoke during those 100 hours? I'd closely inspect the pistons, head and likely replace the valves/seats just to be safe. I'd also mount an EGT gauge straight away when you get it running again.
I agree with atypicalguy. Marinized engines usually get modifications to deal with the differences of load duty cycles versus on road counterparts. At anything over hull speed, the loads are much higher on the engine and EGT monitoring is especially important. I suspect your EGT's, without the turbo providing additional air were extreme. What type exhaust system did you use? Was it a wet or dry exhaust manifold? Was the Turbo water cooled? Did you use a wet exhaust and did you check exhaust back pressure? Volvo has a very good marine diesel installation manual. I may have it in PDF if it's of interest?
