You set them cold,did you check them cold or hot?The way you did it will work fine.Same way I do mine,with no problems.After you set them cold just go back and do one head at a time at operating temp.Do one head,fire the motor,get it back up to temp,then do that head.Checked mine this weekend after 30+ passes,intakes were dead on the money,ea few of the exhausts were about.003 loose.Just reset them hot and you'll be fine.Leaving them set where you set them cold is were your difference come from,probably,if not figure out why they are loosening.If you don't have stud girdles already ,they will keep them from backing off
