Care and Handling instructions for the engines on the 247

[GrizzlyAir]

The engines seem super sensitive to temperature of the oil. I can start them without issues, but the cylinder and carb temps don't rise, but the oil does super slowly, and as soon as you take off I get drops in oil temp as i climb which leads to oil pressure climbing REALLY high, like maxxing out I use the shutter, but the response takes time and then I get busy

I think the engine ops & systems depth requires some careful studying of the Manuals plus a certain amount of Pilot/Flight Engineer dual role activity on our part.
It's not a set & forget aircraft.

Watch that prop pitch, check that mixture. Easy on the throttle. You're comming in too high!
