This is normal. Your engine operating temperature is in excess of 100 degrees.
Latio engine compartment is quite spaced out, so it is not so bad.
Wait till you see the compacked engine bay of some European marques. The heat in the engine bay is even more overwhelming.

ya true enuff. and continental car engines usually have nice cover. makes it even harder for hot air to escape. but some have cooler fans tat activate when the temperature gets too high. it will also be activated for 2 mins after the driver switch off the engine. :ohmy:
