The way a very talented mechanic friend of mine explained it to me. It was probably a high dollar titanium stop with a titanium pinch bolt. Titanium bolts sometimes tend to get gaulded up in the threads and will give you a false torque reading, in other words the torque wrench may say it is tight enough but in fact it is not .
