A COCKPIT JUMPSEAT RIDER POINTS OUT AN ENG OVERTEMP THAT HAD BEEN UNNOTICED BY THE FLT CREW.

Narrative

AFTER TKOF; THE JUMPSEATER SAID THAT HE THOUGHT WE MAY HAVE OVERTEMPED THE ENGS. HE NOTICED THAT WHEN WE SELECTED CLB PWR; THAT HE NOTICED OUR ENG TEMPS HAD REACHED A TEMP OF 680 DEGS ON THE R ENG AND 630-640 DEG TEMP ON THE L ENG. AT THAT POINT; I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. UPON FURTHER REVIEW; WE NOTICED THAT THE EPR REF SET KNOBS WERE PULLED OUT AND WERE READING WELL ABOVE 2.00. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT READING OF THE EPR REF BUG. THIS ALL STARTED ON THE INBOUND FLT WITH BEING RERTED DUE TO WX AND THEN GETTING IN A HURRY BECAUSE WE WERE PRESSED FOR TIME TO GET THE NEXT FLT OUT. THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE GOT INTO TOO MUCH OF A HURRY. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: THE ACFT HAD JUST CAME FROM THE HANGAR AND SEVERAL ITEMS WERE OUT OF PLACE AND WE FAILED TO CATCH ALL OF THEM ON OUR PREFLT AND TAXI OUT. ONE OF THE MISSED ITEMS HAPPENED TO BE THE EPR SETTINGS. I ALSO FEEL MY NOT BEING REAL COMFORTABLE WITH THE ACFT DUE TO LOW TIME AND LACK OF EXPERIENCE PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN ALL OF THIS.
