Shoutout to the old timer who told me to torque those bolts cold
My lead at the Phoenix hangar always said to torque the engine mount bolts after a warm-up cycle, but a retired guy named Frank insisted you do it stone cold at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I tried Frank's way on a Cessna 172 last month and the alignment was perfect, no shimmy on the next run-up. Who else has a 'wrong' piece of advice that actually worked out?
