At least IRL, problems with CHT or coolant temperature, with oil temperature or with oil pressure will kill most engines much faster than simply running them at high power settings, because the time limits in the manual are intended to allow the engine to achieve its design overhaul life. In general, it has been observed that limits only matter if you realistically expect to use the aeroplane again.

When increasing power, first go to rich mixture, then increase rpm, and then increase power to the desired boost setting.

When decreasing power, first decrease boost, then decrease rpm, and finally weaken the mixture.

You can read recommended settings for some planes in the manual that is in the game folder.
