Retorquing hot or cold is a separate question, one of my own that I've been meaning for some time to ask, and I apologize if it seemed I was hijacking your thread.

What is important is to run your motor until it's hot on the crankcase as well as the head, as I described, before retorquing. That's the important part. Two half-hour runs don't achieve the same thing. You need to get it up to working temp. It might take a one-hour run. It could take less if you block off the grill, but you need to warm it up to that point before retorquing. The point of the exercise is that anything that might stretch out or shift in anyway (all things that affect or are affected by the tension that you are "setting" with the torque) need to be heated up to the pint that they will find their natural positions, which is the right point to tighten them down for regular running.
