Umm....technically...the rod doesn't stretch when it's "Static"!!!
I never worried about all that "stretch" or growth" stuff with my BME aluminum rods, until I had it apart after 350 passes and saw shiney spots on my heads, and the pistons...figured .054 clearance was enuff, and it almost was...

Come on Billy, BME says .055 minimum, not .054 Just kidding I think it is real important to write down the deck or dome hieght and check it after running them every 200 or more runs, once they start to stretch it is probally a good time to replace them
