The torque should have been checked after 25 or 50 hours. Your
mechanic should have specified this. Instead he throws meaningless
certifications at you. If he's studious enough to have his wrenches
checked, why didn't he tell you about retorquing, or even use a bit of
torque seal on the nuts? In any event, stop crying, have the cylinder
retorqued (all the nuts/bolts) use torque seal and have them rechecked
and torqued in 25 hours.

As for what we could visualize, just the one bolt appears loose. The
mechanic who installed the jugs has said: "I torqued them to
specification and have the paperwork to prove my wrench is correct."
He has advised us to tighten it up and see if will seat and stay
tight.
If not, the engine comes apart to helicoil the receiving end for the
thru bolt, is what I'm told.
