He could not overboost since it was not turboed.

Hmm. Try leaving the throttle in and pulling the prop back.

Do I KNOW that this caused the problem? Not really. But I know two
pilots who lost a jug on takeoff. He was one; the other flew a
jumpship owned by a non-pilot non-mechanic.

You know 3 now. I lost a jug on a PW 1830 (a few minutes after takeoff
actually) and I can assure you that engine was never shock-cooled.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
