The Haynes TR2 thru the 4A with the "Autocar" cutaway of a 4A on the cover,
make no mention of a preference for hot or cold. The early Service
Instruction Manual (third edition (sixth printing) says that ".....cylinder
head nuts should be checked for tightness with the engine hot".
At least both sources agree that the check should be done at 500 miles.
