Greetings, I just got my car recently. After I was done taking her out, the hood feels really hot. I know all cars get hot once they're just shut off. After a good 1 hour, the heat doesnt seem to cool down significantly. Just wondering if the k-series engines are like that.

BTW, how does teh civic si car manual's cover look like. I think the dealer gave me the wrong one becasue the one i have all it says is "Honda Civic". Thank you.

air + fuel + spark = fire
fire = hot

no thats not normal, your flux copacitor must have shorted out with the internal convoiance of 88 mph combined with the fact that your engine is running;)
