Narrative:

I made the decision to increase the fuel load 1000 pounds. This brought our gross takeoff weight to within approximately 1000 pounds of maximum for the 5700 ft runway. Both engines were started during pushback. After a brief holding delay, we were cleared for takeoff. The FMC takeoff power setting for a no bleeds takeoff flaps 15 degrees was set, then brakes released. At 1000 ft, flaps 5 degrees was called for. The first officer selected flaps 5 degrees, then reported that a red egt warning light, right engine, was illuminated. The temperature read 960 degrees C. The right throttle was retarded a slight amount until the light extinguished. The flaps were retracted and N1 power set. The after takeoff checklist was completed. The abnormal checklist in the pilot handbook concerning the engine abnormal was accomplished and a logbook notation entered. (960 degrees C for approximately 5 seconds). The flight continued normally for the approximately 4 hour leg to pit. Reverser operation was normal on landing, as were all other phases of the flight. The abnormal condition referred to in the logbook was verbally relayed to maintenance and to the outbound crew. Supplemental information from acn 257122: the engine operated normally the rest of flight.

Title: EXCEEDED EGT LIMITS FOR 5 SECONDS. SOP FOLLOWED CONTINUED TO DEST.

Narrative: I MADE THE DECISION TO INCREASE THE FUEL LOAD 1000 LBS. THIS BROUGHT OUR GROSS TKOF WT TO WITHIN APPROX 1000 LBS OF MAX FOR THE 5700 FT RWY. BOTH ENGS WERE STARTED DURING PUSHBACK. AFTER A BRIEF HOLDING DELAY, WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF. THE FMC TKOF PWR SETTING FOR A NO BLEEDS TKOF FLAPS 15 DEGS WAS SET, THEN BRAKES RELEASED. AT 1000 FT, FLAPS 5 DEGS WAS CALLED FOR. THE FO SELECTED FLAPS 5 DEGS, THEN RPTED THAT A RED EGT WARNING LIGHT, R ENG, WAS ILLUMINATED. THE TEMP READ 960 DEGS C. THE R THROTTLE WAS RETARDED A SLIGHT AMOUNT UNTIL THE LIGHT EXTINGUISHED. THE FLAPS WERE RETRACTED AND N1 PWR SET. THE AFTER TKOF CHKLIST WAS COMPLETED. THE ABNORMAL CHKLIST IN THE PLT HANDBOOK CONCERNING THE ENG ABNORMAL WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND A LOGBOOK NOTATION ENTERED. (960 DEGS C FOR APPROX 5 SECONDS). THE FLT CONTINUED NORMALLY FOR THE APPROX 4 HR LEG TO PIT. REVERSER OP WAS NORMAL ON LNDG, AS WERE ALL OTHER PHASES OF THE FLT. THE ABNORMAL CONDITION REFERRED TO IN THE LOGBOOK WAS VERBALLY RELAYED TO MAINT AND TO THE OUTBOUND CREW. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 257122: THE ENG OPERATED NORMALLY THE REST OF FLT.
