Just hit 10,000 bolts torqued on my logbook and realized something scary
I was reviewing my work records and saw I did my 10,000th torque check last week without even noticing a pattern of loose hardware on one engine model. Has anyone else caught a hidden issue by just tracking their numbers like that?

Did you ever find out if those loose bolts were specific to a certain batch or just random? I once found a weird pattern in my mileage logs that turned out to be a tire pressure issue nobody else noticed.

Man that tire pressure thing is wild. Good catch. Anyway yeah the loose bolts weren't random. Turned out to be from a specific batch in June 2022. Checked with a few other owners who had the same issue. All of us had parts manufactured around the same time. So it's definitely a batch problem. Glad you spotted your mileage thing though. That's the kind of detail most people miss.
