Agree with everyting Lowtimer says about the M14P in Yaks - in winter, it can be a very long wait before you can taxi.
I found the oil cooler flap didn't need much attention in flight, but those engine gills were something else, and an eagle eye had to be kept on the CHTs. After a while you could actually smell when the engine was getting hot enough to require a tad more opening of the gills; there was no such warning for overcooling.
But reading my car handbook, it says NEVER to warm up the engine by pre-drive idling. Start it and drive away immediately, it says (Omega V6). I wonder why? Is it something to do with not having cold and rich exhaust gasses soaking the catalytic convertor?
