I agree with Bubbers 44. (and yes, it was the movie version of "Fate is the Hunter").
I was in a jt8d powered B737-200 and the temp went high on one engine. I looked at it (as NFP)....and said: HUH. I told the copilot to FLY THE PLANE and I reduced power on the engine until it was in normal ranges. With only that problem I wouldn't consider shutting anything down...half an engine is better than none.
As it happens I also lost the CSD on it and disconnected that. Placed the APU on line to replace the lost gen and returned for a landing at KBWI. I always take off with APU running for just such a situation!
It turned out there was a crack in the engine case which allowed hot gas (vapor) to impact the CSD raising the temp. (also lost a great deal of engine efficiency) It was an unusual situation. When we got to the gate, (overweight landing) the mechanics swore up and down that nothing was wrong with the engine. It took a major inspection to find the problem and they replaced the engine, due to the case crack and not the over temp, which was very, very brief and minor. (auto throttles!!!).
There was never any reason to consider engine damage/seperation checklist. We did Engine over temp/over heat check, overweight landing check. We didn't even declare an emergency. Though when ATC wanted us to sequence behind someone else, I said a firm NEGATIVE.
oh well.
