Dorian....at the risk of sounding patronising....we have already said that the resistor will run hot and the reasons for it. We have already said to leave it running for at least 20 minutes, possibly even longer to burn off any grease/oil that may have got on to the resistor. Then you ask if you should leave it running......YES!!! If everything is working, chances are that there isn't a problem. You haven't answered the question of whether you have the circuit or service manual. Have you changed any other components (capacitors for instance)? You also haven't said why you changed the rectifier in the first place. We try to help but there is only so much possible with limited information from you......
