I still think people are missing the point - i am talking about measuring new bolts when they are installed. I think the theory behind using the stretch as opposed to 'torque wrench' when checking how tight the installed *new* rod bolt is that torque is affected by too many variables, such as lubricant, water, dust, machining of the thread etc...whereas with 'stretch' you can more accurately predict the amount of force that is being applied to the rod bolt to stretch the material (and hence the clamping pressure between the rod cap and rod). Umm, I might be missing something here, but how on earth do you propose to measure the 'strech' of the rod bolts once installed? I mean to me it would appear that they would be enclosed in the thread of the rods and hence be unmeasurable... You could use torque to yield bolts, and to my knowledge the installation technique for them generally is to tighten to X torque then a further +x degrees.
