I've had my M35A2 for nearly 3 years and drive it frequently. I figure
it is designed the way it is so that is how I operate it. Oil pressure
comes up within a few seconds and still holds over 50psi at warm idle. I
am very conscious of start-up and never run the engine above idle until I
see o/p indicated AND the temp guage needle has begun to rise. I NEVER,
NEVER accelerate the engine until I know the engine has begun to warm-up.
So far- so good.
