After a good amount of driving, I grabbed the radiator hose to find out that it was pretty warm. I could hold my hand on it for a few seconds but it was pretty warm. The intake manifold was also very warm and the valve cover was just plain hot. (Isn't that rather expected, though?) I would like to get a real temp reading on various parts of the block. Also, are these engines supposed to crackle and pop after a good day's driving or is that not a characteristic of aluminum blocks? Mine doesn't do that even after a long drive.
