Unless you have very unusual conditions the temp range for aluminum cylinder heads is small.
Steel doesn't expand as much as aluminum so the worst that might happen is that it might be a bit
loose when hot.
But we are talking about MILLIONTHS of expansion per degree, so you have to have a lot
of degrees to make much difference.
