You haven't opened your radiators.  you need to open Oil and water rads. They are manually controlled on the E.

with E7 you do need the radiators opened, however not to the same extent as on the VVS planes. E7 gets cooled very quickly and having the rads opened too much has a detrimental effect on speed, which in its turn reduces the effectiveness of the rads, which in its turn raises the engine temperature even higher. It's counter intuitive to say the least. I found on winter maps the rads to be opened to 3-5% max if not shut off completely. On hot summer maps the 25%-30% is max. Watch the temperature gauges and adjust accordingly.

if you are talking Clod 109s its dependent on the model - The E4 should be safely cruising at 2400 rpm whilst the E3 and E1 are safe up to 2300 rpm from memory. The later E4s can be pushed a little harder. 

 

In the pre blitz version of clod you did have to be careful between 3.5K and 5K due to temp spikes caused by the environmental modelling but im not sure if Blitz resolved this. 

 

Water and oil rads are both manual and cannot be shut down too much unless you are achieving very high speeds.
