"<font color=""119911"">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.</font>"
