I shock heated my engines again on Sunday... This is ~ 5,800 times on the
left engine and 6,400 times on the right engine that the metal has been
taken from ambient temperature (a balmy 28f degrees sunday) to some
1200-1300 degrees F internally in ~10 milliseconds... I watched with
incredulous eyes as neither engine had a jug fly off, nor seized up, nor
started a death rattle, nor immediately dropped compressions into the
40's...

Then upon landing I reduced the throttle and watched as the EGT took some
5,000 milliseconds to to begin to decrease and the CHT's barely dropped
until I was half way back to the hangar on the taxiway... I obviously shock
cooled it into oblivion...

denny - straight from hades...

That's good advice -- with any engine.
