Heres a really frequently asked question as I browsed the forum last night, along the lines of:
"My engine keeps failing after 15-40 minutes of dogfighting"
And a very probable answer that I thought of when I was flying the Dover mission just earlier, so I'll use the spitfire as the example,
If you look to the right side of the dashboard theres 3-4 gauges, above the Oil gauge theres a Boost gauge labeled 1-10 with 8-10 labeled red. If you raise your speed between 80% and 100% you go in the red, causing your engine to overheat. So even though you aren't using WEP your engines are still overheating for being so high constantly! I remembered this after thinking about IL-2 1946 where if you stay at 100% long enough you get an overheat warning.

Very good answer indeed. This should come in handy.
I'll be sure to keep my engine at idle when not in combat.
