Viper, I did some tests and it works!
 If I keep the temperature below 120 the engine won't die. Unless the revs are too high, which makes the oil temp go boom. So I fight at 2850, and occasionally at 3000. However, when I go high, above 4-5000m the oil temperature goes really high. The only was not to kill the engine is to reduce the revs to 2,300. Is that normal? Something is fishy up there, even the revs weren't constant. Perhaps the automatic mixture control is broken as some say?

Something is definitely broken. I seriously doubt the pilot notes IRL are this close between life and death of a motor. Motors are not built out of glass and damage isn't on/off as it seems in the sim, I mean I have beat some motors IRL and yes failure is there, but thats after weeks/months of beating it (not 30 seconds as in COD). And my military background with modern aircraft tells me, yes 30min full power NEEDS to be followed but in all reality it could probably go well past that time as long as all gauges stay out of the red. Yes apples and oranges but I Seriously doubt they would run that close to the edge w/ no chance for over rev / boost / ect. maybe the actual "gasoline" model is wrong in the game. with the right octane anything is possible.

The British fighter engines are really fickle,it has taken me ages to get to grips with them.
I appreciate your plight,from all accounts after flying Spits and Hurricanes the Bf110 and Bf109 sound much more easier to get to grips with.
