In Clod there is engine broken after flying at +6 1/2lbs at 2850 RPMs after ab. 10-15 minutes continous flying

If you apply +9 lbs at 2850 RPMs you could fly ab. 2-3 minutes then engine broke.

It is not correct that you cant even fly 30 minutes at 6 1/2 lbs 2850 RPMs if you should be able to fly such time with +9lbs 2850 RPMs.

Other hand Bf 109 E could fly all time at 1.35 Ata power settings without problem if it was only 5-minutes emergency power.
Did you have radiator fully open?
