Well, I've NEVER re-torque Head-Bolts on a hot-run engine because I figure the organic gasket material is at it's softest, unfair to re-TQ while HOT. In fact I'd be scared to re-TQ while HOT.

Corollary: Re-torque after a complete cool-down sounds fair game. (if we Monk-like about it, not to cavalier).
