I had two genuine engine failures in PNG flying 'Bongo vans' and I can assure you that high CHTs on the remaining live engine were not even a passing consideration, at least for the first few minutes anyway!

Once I had everything dealt with, and was headed back to base I then considered the state of the remaining operating engine.

Going down in the approximate area of where one initial failure occurred could possibly have resulted in another aircraft missing and never to be seen again.
