In addition to following the POH is there anything else one can do in order to ensure you take a good engine to the sky?
For example, when I do a mag check I look on my engine analyzer to ensure I get a rise in all EGTs when I run on one mag. I also will not taxi the aircraft until I have 90°F oil temp.
Other things I wonder might help. Should I do the run up with the engine leaned out? Should a mag check be a certain length of time like 30 seconds each side? How many times do you cycle the prop?
Anything else I might be missing?
