i suggest waiting but you can wrap the cooling head with tin foil and if you have a temp gun, try to keep the temps in the 200 degree range, its not good to break an engine in cold temps

do it in your garage (dont forget to vent the exhaust somehow). i direct a spaceheater at the cooling head to warm it up and before i start and i make sure the temp is nice and cozy.
