So now my little project 91' 240 is up and running and I'm taking it on little trips here and there. The car seems to be running well. However, after a very short cruise around town I noticed the engine compartment and hood where awfully hot. Now my temp gauge reads normal. (I removed the 'temp faker' unit when restoring the dash.) I also know the cars is not boiling over or anything. This isn't really about 'overheating' per say, but how hot should it get under there? If I took a reading of the valve cover after a drive with a contactless thermometer, what should the ballpark temp be? Is there a rough way to confirm that the the temp sender and gauge are working correctly?
Thanks!
