On a typical engine how hot can they get without cause for concern. I ask because today I ran a 15 hp engine for about 20 mins at WOT and then I took the hood off and felt the top of the heads. It was hot enough to where you could only leave your hand on it for a few short seconds. I was thinking of buying the engine but I didn't know if this was a problem since my engine tends to run much cooler. Usually you can place your hand of the heads anytime without them beeing too hot to stand. Any information you have will be greatly appreciatted and could save me $$$. Please help. Also, the temperature on the lake today was in excess of 90 degrees. Thanks.
