I just got my 95 240 running and everything yesterday. It seems like just under normal running condition that after I park the car and let it sit for an hour I can come back pop the hood and the valve cover is still so hot I can't hold my hand on it. Is this normal? I sware every other car I've owned cools down much faster then this. If this is not normal what could be causing it? I have new water pump, radiator, and headgasket....

see now your doing it wrong.......

drive for an while

pop the hood

then come back in an hour and work on it


thats nothing really odd...if a car has been driven it will be hot

I dunno if it's all KAs, but my dads Altima seems to produce more heat then any car ive ever seen. If you start the car in the morning, let it idle for maybe 15 minutes, and start rolling slowly, you will feel the heat if you stick ur hand out the window....
