alright so i did the 160000maintance stuff ( timing belt and all that plus clutch and headgasket and udp) and i ran went to work and when i came back from work last night check the engine and it was freaking hot i mean like ...hot.
anyways the temperature gauge stays in the normal temperature zone but the engine and allthe other components are freaking hot is this normal or what is going on
may sound stupid but what can i do im worried sick over my baby.

Normal, if you remove the black gasket that is up by the top of the hood near the windshield that has been proven to reduce under hood temps but other than that its normal.
