I'd say that it's fine since your temp gauge says it is, but then again I'm not sure. I guess just make sure that your gauge reads right, and definitely check those CEL's. Also, how long has the car been running when it is "hot as hell."

Thats a b16 motor for you . They all stay hot as hell! Plus the hot summer weatehr adds to that . Id say its fine .

what you need to do to test if you bleeded correctly is to warm up the car to normail operating temp. now feel both upper and lower radiator hoses coming from the radiator. the top will always be hot, and so should the bottom if you bleed correctly. if the bottom is cold, then you need to bleed again.
