B47 engine management

Another thing dawned on me while flying around, wondering whats about to go wrong [like a good pilot should?] with my 'new to me' Bell47.

The [sea-level] school I started my initial training with never really mentioned much about the manifold pressure limits as placarded except to say climb with 25inches and cruise with 22/23 inches. I dare say the second school I continued at may have assumed my knowledge of MP limits was complete. Well I am still learning for sure - hence this question....

Is the Bell 47 with Lyc435 (unboosted) bulletproof in this regard or very sensitive to MP abuse?

How would I know if these limits havent been observed in the past?
What does abuse of the figures cause?
OOW
