During my annual, I am facing the following situation: all critical bolts and nuts fasteners like the bolts securing the engine on the motor mount or the bolts and nuts attaching the landing gear to the U channel have been marked with torque seal at installation. Inspecting these bolts, I do not see any seal broken. In these conditions does it make sense rechecking the torque? I would think that the purpose of the torque seal being to detect a bolt or nut getting loose my inclination toward leaving those that are intact alone (particularly the motor mount ones that are so hard to reach). I further believe that tinkering with well seated bolts and nuts may unlock them and leave them more prone to getting loose in the future.
