The bolts should return to original length unless you over stretched them.
This was why I was concerned that the bolts were different lengths. They were that way when they came from NASCAR and they should have done them by the book better than us.

Kinda hard to know the free length on used rod bolts/rods.
I would have liked to have had brand new stuff. But, don't know until I run this engine if it is even what I want or need.
