AFAIK, Triumph (like most car makers) always gave valve specs cold. If you
can find a hot spec, use it; but if it's not specified, the safe assumption
is that it's for a cold engine.
As Mike Porter pointed out, the reason for the cold spec probably has more
to do with manufacturing processes than being 'best' ... they certainly
wouldn't want to assemble the engine and run it, then disassemble it to set
the valves again ...
