Number 2 engine oil temp Amber range and oil temp message appeared momentarily around 80 KTS. Then at 85 knots came on constant. We continued the takeoff and departure procedure. The oil temp then rose to 180-190 degrees and went into the red airborne. We brought the throttle back and performed the high oil temp checklist. We then shut the engine down; advised ATC; ran the fuel jettison checklist and the three engine approach and landing checklist. Unable to get landing data from dispatch; the landing and performance data was reviewed and we returned for a normal three engine landing.
Engine 2 oil high temp EICAS on takeoff above 80 knots but below 85 knots. Went away briefly and came back on and stayed on. Continued takeoff. Temperature was initially in the amber range; however after takeoff; went into the red and remained there. Reduced throttle; no effect. No vibration; all other engine parameters normal on affected engine. Checklist said shut it down. Shut it down. Advised ATC of need to dump fuel. Dumped fuel. 3 engine landing was uneventful.
A B747 flight crew and the Dispatcher involved described an inflight shut down due to high oil temperature shortly after takeoff and fuel dumping to get down to landing weight. Communication difficulties prevented the crew from getting any meaningful support from the Dispatcher.
