If I understand what Pursuivant is saying, it makes sense to me. The same engine in different airframes can overheat in a shorter or longer time, depending on many variables, and can take shorter or longer time to cool off. Just think at the same M105 in the Yak or LaGG. But the critical temperature the pilot reads on the dial should be the same, I think.
