What gets changed depends on the amount and duration of the over-torque. And what type of recording device, if any, was fitted.
Is the overtorque supported by corresponding engine information, or was it only registered on the torque meter?
Fitting something like the Intellistart system to a helicopter is going to save you from just a hot start event, it's going to record all the engine and transmission information, and possibly save you from replacing components due to a very minor overtorque.
