It’s kinda funny that guys raced for probably over 50 years using rod bolt torque as the “go to method” of building race engines. Now we are stretching bolts to a given length. Well one guy above said he torque cycles his bolts three times. Well then I’m guessing he installs a bearing and torques it to check rod bearing clearance. If he’s lucky it’s right but if not it’s taken apart to get the right bearings. Then it’s torqued again. This time hopefully it’s dead nuts on so we bolt the engine together. Ohhh damn the Stroker engine rod is hitting the block so we take it apart to clearance the block and assemble it again. All the sudden those new rod bolts have been torqued 3,4,5,6 times. We every bolt has a life and you just used a bunch of them. Just something to sleep on. If you can.
