well a 1 hour drive on the freeway and its basically untouchable. can touch it but cannot hold your hand against either for any time.

the rear diff centre has had all new bearings to. more pinion related heat though in the diff.

id rather not touch most moving parts of an engine after a drive.

if it needs a coolant of any sort, be it water, oil or otherwise, it should not be touched after driving in my books :P but thats just me being a big girls blouse :D lol
