Water from pee hole will be slightly warm at the most.
You should be able to touch the cylinder head but not for more than a couple of seconds or so.
If you cannot touch it at all or if a splash of water on it sizzles then it is overheating.
If it is overheating then check the thermostat and pressure control valve perhaps as a first step. |
