All the ARP 8640 (I think that is the correct number for the cheaper ARP rod bolts) and all the ARP 2000 bolts I've used had nice machine recesses, divots, in both ends for the rod bolt stretch dial indicator ends I do remember reading on the stock 440 and 383 ARP replacement rod bolts with nuts to stretch them and release them three times before using them with their stretch methods a long time ago IHTHs
