Message When I was installing my turbo water lines, I noticed that after torquing down the banjo bolt, even the smallest movement of the line would loosen the bolt. This is because the seal is via a copper crusher, so the metal to metal contact allows no play.

The way you have your lines exposed, I'm afraid that something might nudge them and loosen your torqued bolt. This actually happened in my case, but I was lucky enough to catch it and fix it before the engine was dropped. I hope my explanation was clear enough....
