Our engine indication problems in the -200 have always been gauge-related, usually (as in 650s case) cannon plug wiring. Replacing the gauge or even just hitting the cannon plug with contact cleaner has cleared up our problems.

The oil temp gauge problem FC describes would concern me a little more ... no arguments with the way you handle it, but you've got a bit more information to go in in 650's example that tells you everything is probably OK. The oil temp I'd watch more closely, but again be prepared for diversion and/or possible precautionary shutdown.
