Herod:

4500 hours, one failure (that accessory gear box as you said) and one fire.

Yes, the requirement for positive torque needed a little forward planning on the approach
My employer permitted a minimum of 60 psi torque OR zero psi to prevent the dreaded lay-shaft flutter.

And I'm still trying to figure out where RR hid that noise generator!
