I keep seeing guys skip the final torque check on the governor rope clamp. That's a 20 second job that can stop a big problem.

Disagree on that being a big deal most of the time. If the initial torque was right and the lockwire is good, it's usually fine. Seen plenty of units run for years without that final check.

Yeah exactly, it's one of those things that gets blown out of proportion. A proper lockwire job does most of the work keeping things tight. As long as the initial install was done right, chasing that final torque on every single fastener is often just ticking a box.
