i have a 85 crx, the valve cover gets extremly hot...... i dont know whats wrong the temp gage stays at a good point but when i open the hood its like a heat wave off the valve cover..... what could be wrong?

thanks

sounds like its normal...if everything works fine i wouldn't worry about it.

Hopefully some one else can confirm.

maybe your head gasket is slowly going out.......if that is the case that is the only thing that i can see causing excessive head in the head......and if your head it getting that hot you might have a warped head now.....better get that checked

the head gasket was just replaced..........
