The info for iron block and aluminum heads to set them cold and .006 tighter is a good starting point. It'll be pretty close. If your not gonna do them hot then this is your best approach.
Otherwise set them this way cold and get it hot, as in having run down the lake fully warmed up hot, and pop one cover at a time and fine tune them. Just warming up on a hose is not the same.
