Hey pesik, you may have already figured this out, but I'm wondering if there could be a low resistance short from your positive terminal to ground, somehow. I can't think of any other reason the jumper post would be getting hot (temperature), as this should be an end of line terminal, with no current through it normally unless jump starting. Seems like this might also explain the relatively high charging voltage.
I looked at mine, and the positive jumper terminal is mounted on an insulated plastic or fiber composite post. If that plastic melted away, maybe you're shorting to ground somewhere there?
I'm curious - is this post hot even after sitting for hours, not running?
By the way, kudos to you for tackling the timing chain job yourself - how long did that take you? Good luck.
