The Kit compressors should be able to run continuosly without over heating if installed properly. It is normal for the area around the top of the cylinder to get warm, but it should not be too hot.
If it is the motor area that is hot then you probably have the wiring hooked up backwards. The compressor will run in this condition and produce compressed air. But it will be very inefficient and all that misdirected energy turns into heat.

Thanks for any help!!
