Hi All. We are experiencing winter in Australia while the lucky people in the north have warmer climes. Gets sub zero here, we measure temperature in Celsius. Reading Mike Busch's book on Engines he states you should never start a Lycoming below 32 degrees F. I have my Dynon EMS set up in degrees F and don't start unless temp is at least 40 degrees F. What I am finding is the oil pressure is agonisingly slow to come up. Takes about 30 sec to 40psi. Newish engine, 41 hours, Shell straight 100 oil.
Is this going to harm the engine?
