Narrative:
At about 1000 ft AGL; the #2 engine overtemp light came on and I instinctively pulled back on the throttle. The light went out after being on for 1-2 seconds. The first officer went into the book after I delegated responsibilities; and when he was working the overtemp problem; the l-hand wing/body overheat light came on (APU running; bleed off takeoff). He momentarily stopped the overtemp checklist and turned off the APU bleed (after making sure that the engine bleeds were supplying pressurization) then closed the isolation valve. He then finished the overtemp checklist; then began the wing/body overheat checklist. When he was through; he took over flying duties while I contacted dispatch and maintenance. After discussion with maintenance it was decided to continue since the maximum engine temperature was 934 degrees; and the wing/body overheat light had extinguished. We estimate that the wing/body overheat light was on for about 5 mins. Essentially it went out (after the first officer's initial panel re-confign) by the time we got to the middle of the wing/body overheat checklist.

Title: B737-300 FLT CREW HAS AN ENG OVERTEMP AND WING-BODY OVERHEAT ON DEP.
Narrative: AT ABOUT 1000 FT AGL; THE #2 ENG OVERTEMP LIGHT CAME ON AND I INSTINCTIVELY PULLED BACK ON THE THROTTLE. THE LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER BEING ON FOR 1-2 SECONDS. THE FO WENT INTO THE BOOK AFTER I DELEGATED RESPONSIBILITIES; AND WHEN HE WAS WORKING THE OVERTEMP PROB; THE L-HAND WING/BODY OVERHEAT LIGHT CAME ON (APU RUNNING; BLEED OFF TKOF). HE MOMENTARILY STOPPED THE OVERTEMP CHKLIST AND TURNED OFF THE APU BLEED (AFTER MAKING SURE THAT THE ENG BLEEDS WERE SUPPLYING PRESSURIZATION) THEN CLOSED THE ISOLATION VALVE. HE THEN FINISHED THE OVERTEMP CHKLIST; THEN BEGAN THE WING/BODY OVERHEAT CHKLIST. WHEN HE WAS THROUGH; HE TOOK OVER FLYING DUTIES WHILE I CONTACTED DISPATCH AND MAINT. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH MAINT IT WAS DECIDED TO CONTINUE SINCE THE MAX ENG TEMP WAS 934 DEGS; AND THE WING/BODY OVERHEAT LIGHT HAD EXTINGUISHED. WE ESTIMATE THAT THE WING/BODY OVERHEAT LIGHT WAS ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. ESSENTIALLY IT WENT OUT (AFTER THE FO'S INITIAL PANEL RE-CONFIGN) BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WING/BODY OVERHEAT CHKLIST.
