Well I do notice that my hood gets crazily hot after Ive been driving around for awhile. My temp is fine and the car runs good I just noticed it gets alot hotter than most cars, which I think is what this guys trying to say.

maybe it has something to do with the closeness of the engine to hood and lack of lots of heavy insulation that many other cars have.

if ur temperature reader is in the middle, then you are fine. if it is going past the middle, there is something wrong with ur cooling system.

there are lots of people with turbo's and i am sure that those things will get A LOT hotter than a normal prelude engine.

when it rains, i can watch the water turn into steam.

Why is everyone flaming this dude?
Granted his english isn't great, but he's new and hes asking a serious question.
I think he's trying to ask if preludes (4th gen) seem to get hotter than most other cars and why.

Its a shame new people get treated this way, it breeds ignorance.

my 2c

I hope to God you didn't graduate from high school. If you did, let me know where you went so I don't send my kid there.

If I'm understanding it right you are basically saying "why does it get so hot under the hood of the preludes?"

I have noticed that my self and I come to believe is that there is not enough airflow under the hood of the prelude and it doesn't get as much heat dissipation as other engines. The engine of the prelude it's a little bigger the b series and does take more room under the hood so therefore it has less air for the head to escape...

Well something liek that..

&lt;--drink a couple of this and I'll keep you cooler

yeah i dunno what temp exactly the motor runs at but i wouldnt recommend resting your face on the hood after running it for a while.

as long as your temp gauge reads that your motors running at a normal temperature (in the middle) then you're fine.
