Yes, temp max. for the Merlin III, (all aircraft but the Spit IIA) is 98 degrees below approx. 5,000, but as you go over that, temp limit gradually drops. And it is different for different aircraft, ie. the Spit IA 100 octane is different from the standard Spit IA.
This is major bug in the game. The higher you go, the cooler the engines should run, and less likely the chance of damage.
If you want to do comprehensive testing that would be nice...
Ivan and I have already done testing for the engine misfiring bug for the British aircraft, but not on the overheating yet.
109 engines do not have any oil temp problems as long as you keep the oil at approx. 25% and radiator open to 3/4 mark. AFAIK!
