Narrative:
Returned to airport as a precaution after the #2 engine egt gauge spiked indicating an over temp condition. This occurred on climb out around 8000 MSL. We left the #2 engine running as indications returned to normal with the thrust reduced. We returned normally. We were informed by maintenance that this was the second write up concerning this condition.
