Default Is this engine part normally VERY hot after driving?

I know this might sound rather weird, but im just a little concerned that after I drive my 370z for whatever amount of time, when i get her back home and in the garage, i usually pop the hood and let everything cool down (just habit) and i always notice the part circled in red in the picture are always very hot to the touch... is this normal? what exactly is behind that aluminum cover.... do those have something to do with the variable valve timing? Also note, that picture came from google, THAT IS NOT MY ENGINE... just using it for an example of the part im taking about.. thanks
