Cannot imagine the installer not torquing the bolts to specs - not on a million dollar plus piece of machinery.........

Well, there was an engine that fell of a DC-10 coming out of Chicago roughly 35 ago.

If memory serves, the engine fell off because the maintenance crews were putting engines back on by lifting them in place with a forklift and tightening bolts with an impact wrench....in whatever order seemed expedient.
