docbob is an unknown quantity at this point
Is TIT lean of peak or rich of peak? Slightly lean of peak is good for the engine and results in lower CHT.
A rough rule of thumb is that an oil temperature around ambient deg F plus 100 deg F is good. Seems that at 12.5 you might even be a little higher than this. It is pretty hard to imagine how running at these temps could harm the engines. I (normally aspirated) have been looking at CHT's around 350 for 18 years.
Shock cooling during a careless let-down causes lots of damage. The lower the starting temp, the lower the shock-cooling effect. Adequate oil temperature (and, thus, flow) before full power application for takeoff is important. So a good warm-up is smart.
Bottom line: seems that you are well within the green arcs.
