I am not an A & P (nor have I played one on TV) but it sounds like a
normal occurance in a newly rebuilt engine. I think that once thigs
break in a little more (and loosen up) you'll see a drop in temps along
with oil consumption. At least this is according to the rebuild books I
have read.
That being said, If I just spent up to 20 AMU's for a rebuild I
certainly wouldn't hesitate to ask the rebuild shop questions. Good luck!!

You should be flying at 75% power and full rich until the temperatures
stabilize.
