Im not sure whats causing it but now all of a sudden when I go to take off and start easing the throttle forward i get almost to full and i get this horrible noise of squeaking and clanging metal and the engine dies. It only happens with the late variants. Im lost here.

Warm up the engine to at least 40°C before you throttle up or you'll kill oilcooler and/or pistons.

interesting, it is rather cold in FL today, which i dont usually have to take into consideration! I'll try it when I get home.
