Default Oil temperature and other things that might kill your engine.

Ok, so I'm quite aware how aeroplanes work, I read through the Spitfire pilot's notes a few times, and I amnage to fly it fairly well with CEM without temp effects. However, as soon as I enable temp effects I keep killing my engine.

By opening the radiator, I can keep the rad temp below the limit, but I can't seem to influence the oil temp, which is always between 90 and 100, 90 being the limit it eventually kills my engine.

What other things can kill it?
- too much boost for too long time (enabling boost cut-out isn't a problem if I throttle back, it's just a gate, isn't it?)
- overrev (3600 is the limit for 20 seconds, and I seldom go over 3,000 I usually keep it around 2850 in combat
- rad temp - easily cured by operating the radiator shutter
- oil temp - ?
- mixture - should be automatic so no problem. when I set it to weak I'm careful not to use more than +2 boost.
- what else?

Thanks

PS: It's only the Spit, I seem to manage the 109 quite well.
