Something that doesn't happen in MS flight sim.
And some might argue that it doesn't happen that much in real aircraft
either...

My previous engine went to around 3000 hours with typical student use of two
throttle settings -- on and off... No problem with shock cooling... It even
still had good compressions, but the insurance company had a problem with
students renting an engine that far past TBO... I took it off leaseback and
flew it myself for quite awhile before deciding I wanted the high
compression cylinder STC and going ahead and doing an overhaul on it...
