Default Extended full-power in small pistons

The POH for a number of small piston aircraft warn that high power and
prop
settings should not be used for extended periods. What counts as an
extended
period, and what happens to the engine if these recommended (or mandatory)
limits are exceeded?


Anything over five minutes will cause the engine to explode.
