Oh ... I have extensively tested this on a dyno and deliberately gotten it warm as well ... and tested with an infra red thermometer too ... the only thing that got warm was the back of the head under load .... backed off and it cooled back to normal.

Oh .... also forgot that I was trying to replace the head gasket as well ... thinking this was the cause .... found my old head was literally seized to the block .... so I threw the engine out and put in a 66,000km old engine in (with new head gasket ... also checked to make sure all water galleries weren't blocked either).

So I have checked that too
