In a recent thread I reported a missing locknut on a condition inspection. Numerous post about torque seal came back. Let me add something to that I learned from my good friend that is building a sweet looking 8 he learned from a very good A&P.
After putting your mark on the bolt and nut, put a second line on the piece it is holding together. When you pull the cover off for your condition inspection, if it is still lined up, IT HASN'T MOVED and you won't have to re-check the torque.
