But if you fly with full realism the single key to not overheating or damaging your engine on takeoff or in flight is to .....

OPEN YOUR RADIATOR!!!!!

As soon as your engine water temp gets over 109 degrees you are going to have issues.

So start your engine, let it warm up to over 55 degrees. then open radiator to full and you can full throttle all you want.
There's no water on the Blenheim (engines are air-cooled) and 109 degrees is far too low a temperature for its engines to throttle up without sputtering, you need at least 160-180 degrees to get smooth throttle transitions throughout the entire throttle range
