    Boy, that is cooking, and it doesn’t appear that the engine is overheating….
    Have you removed that crazy SS cover with the two screws? Maybe all the carbon has covered ports in there that is causing the hot exhaust to back up…Don’t know what would make it get so hot on the front of the housing though, perhaps the gasket was leaking directing hot exhaust to that area where it was having a hard time escaping….
