Ive run my engine at 110% for a long time with that over heat warning going off and it does eventually kill my engine and I hear it starting to do that whistle sound you get when it gets hit.....I guess by catastrophic you mean the engine flaming out in short order from over heating? Ive had my engines inop, lose power and fly at lousy power when I run them overheated for along time. Even in the 262 my engines lit on fire once....that sucked haha
