I'm assuming this is normal for compressors but just wanted to verify that. One point is at the fitting where the air exits the cylinder head and the other point is where it enters the tank. The line that connects the two has fins on it so I'm assuming they are expecting that line to get hot along with the two points of concern.

Ed,
As a point of reference I've measured the temperature of the pipe that goes from the second stage of the compressor to the cooler with my infrared heat measurement gun\thingie and it is about 230F going in. Its about 90F coming out but I, like you, found the high temperature to be more than I was expecting.
