Torquing hot or cold ? S/B cold.

I retired from bucklenusting 10 years ago. Back then you only torqued a cold to the touch head.
BTW you only torque a loose fastener, after that, you're checking tightness. I do not use my TW's to loosen, they are not breaker bars.

Did Ford require dealer to check torque? I have a dealer pre delivery book from a much later era to cover the year of a car I have, lot of interesting things in it.
