Is this engine part normally VERY hot after driving?

Oil operating temp is over 200.... laws of thermodynamics will say heat will transfer to things around it so 200 is a fair guess for a lot of things touching the engine block.

That's just the operating temp. Doesn't mean the engine doesn't see temps of well over 1000 degrees, and the oil does see some of that heat too, it just flows through so only a bit burns or gets effected by that extreme heat and degrades.
