Narrative:
Takeoff required maximum power due to 5 KT tailwind. Right engine egt temperature peaked at 896 degrees as noted on the EICAS screen. Never saw any amber or red indications during the takeoff. At the time we were trying to communicate with ATC departure control so as to avoid thunderstorms that were to the west as we departed. During this departure communications with ATC were difficult as other aircraft were also attempting to communicate and time was critical. Once established on a climb path that would keep us clear of WX we noticed the egt exceedance. It was a repeat item in the logbook. Just prior to leveloff from climb right engine N1 was observed to be increasing up to a peak of 105.2 was the left N1 was at 98.8. The increase was momentary and N1 returned to normal at the leveloff at cruise. I decided to continue the flight to destination as all engine parameters were indicating normal at cruise. I contacted technician and also notified dispatch. Technician agreed to monitor us en route.

Title: A B757 EXPERIENCES A HIGH EGT ON TKOF AND CLB FROM MIA. ACFT FUEL EQUIP PROB HAD BEEN NOTED IN THE LOGBOOK BEFORE THIS FLT.
Narrative: TKOF REQUIRED MAX PWR DUE TO 5 KT TAILWIND. R ENG EGT TEMP PEAKED AT 896 DEGS AS NOTED ON THE EICAS SCREEN. NEVER SAW ANY AMBER OR RED INDICATIONS DURING THE TKOF. AT THE TIME WE WERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ATC DEP CTL SO AS TO AVOID TSTMS THAT WERE TO THE W AS WE DEPARTED. DURING THIS DEP COMS WITH ATC WERE DIFFICULT AS OTHER ACFT WERE ALSO ATTEMPTING TO COMMUNICATE AND TIME WAS CRITICAL. ONCE ESTABLISHED ON A CLB PATH THAT WOULD KEEP US CLR OF WX WE NOTICED THE EGT EXCEEDANCE. IT WAS A REPEAT ITEM IN THE LOGBOOK. JUST PRIOR TO LEVELOFF FROM CLB R ENG N1 WAS OBSERVED TO BE INCREASING UP TO A PEAK OF 105.2 WAS THE L N1 WAS AT 98.8. THE INCREASE WAS MOMENTARY AND N1 RETURNED TO NORMAL AT THE LEVELOFF AT CRUISE. I DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE FLT TO DEST AS ALL ENG PARAMETERS WERE INDICATING NORMAL AT CRUISE. I CONTACTED TECHNICIAN AND ALSO NOTIFIED DISPATCH. TECHNICIAN AGREED TO MONITOR US ENRTE.
