    steam isnt normal, but are you sure it's steam? It can be steam if it's burning off all the moisture thats been built up since the last time it's been run. If it's been a long while since it was running last it could have quite a bit of moisture built up inside various parts which will take a while to burn off. Does the coolant look milky or have any signs of oil in it?

    An hour, depending on ambient temps may not have gotten the engine really all that hot. Coolant may have been hot, but the engine oil may not have gotten that hot.

    I'd say run it some more and see if it goes away. If not, check each spark plug for signs of water.

    You might want to pressure test the cooling system to see if something froze and broke internally. Steam for an hour sounds excessive.

    Check the engine oil. If it looks like chocolate milk, you have coolant getting into the oil. Dont run the engine like this, water in the oil will destroy all bearings.
