hot worked better for me. I tried cold several times, and cold .011"/.007" and both produced a ton of tapping. .012"/.008" hot worked much better. From what ive read i may try dropping the exhaust valve clearance a little to .010 or so warm, but im currently undecided on that. As far as the heat goes, just use a pair of workgloves, and it shouldn't be an issue.
