Retorque hot.

A rule I thumb I was recently told: Iron head = retorque hot, Aluminum head = retorque cold.

Recently replace the exhaust valves on my car.  New German made head gasket. Running well, very pleased.  Wonder what the consensus is it better 

to re torque when engine is cool or hot?  As always thanks to all for the help I have received keeping this car going over the years.  Arnold S Gilmour
