Engine compartments do heat up when you turn the engine off but it's be nice to know just how hot it is going down the road. It got me to thinking it'd be a good idea to put a thermometer under the hood that you can monitor going down the road. I think you'd be surprised.
When I wired in my electric fan I also installed a switch that I could operate manually. When I pull the panel into the shop and get out I can feel the heat radiate through the grille. Sooo, when I pull in and cut the engine off I flip the fan switch on and let it blow for a minute or two before totally shutting it off. I know we can't always do this but I do it when I can.
....still interested just how much the temp is going down the road. MMMmmmm
