My older car (86 Sable-v6) didn't seem to generate anywhere near the same amount of heat Don't have any experience with newer v-6's..........

my 89 300se Euro had tremendous amount of heat soak after shut-down. this would lead to stuttering re- starts for a few seconds. problem resolved by installing a exhaust heat wrap .The under hood temperature has dropped dramatically. Amazing difference in hot starts too.
