I seem to differ from everybody else. I was always taught to relighted when hot and can remember being told some 60 years ago that the head studs expand more then the head when hot so re tightening hot makes them correct for a normal heat for a running engine. I have never had any problems with 7s or any other engines. No torque wrench use in those days.
