Default Engine Temp vs. Hood Temp
How hot should the hood get on a '92 500SL with city driving? Mine gets too hot to touch...is this normal?
Thanks

Default RE: Engine Temp vs. Hood Temp
Have you examined the foam hood pad on the underside of the hood? Due to the heat these engines throw off, these insulator pads are almost a 'disposable' maintenance item.
