Andy -
It depends on which cam you're running. Stock Triumph from day one (except
TR-7) was .010" cold. Warmed over & competition grinds were usually spec'd
hot. If you're given cold & hot settings, then I'd go with hot.

OK, this leads me to an admittedly somewhat naive question. If one, under the
proper circumstances, retorques the head while hot, does one still then wait
until the engine cools before resetting the valve clearances?
Just wondering....
