Betreff: [Fot] Carrillo Rod Bolts

Rod bolt question for you experts.  I latched onto a used set of Carrillo
rods for my next spitfire engine.  I figured I would get them crack tested
and size checked and be on my way. That was until I checked on the
tightening requirements.  According to Carrillo you need to measure the rod
bolts when new and then re-measure them after each disassembly to make sure
they have not been overstretched.  I am lacking that original length
measurement.  I would just replace them all for good measure but I was
quoted a price of $56 per bolt.  That being said I would prefer to use the
original bolts IF they are still good.  Anybody have any alternative methods
of determining if these rod bolts have not been over stretched?  The bolts
are SPS CARR S4's

Thanks,
Marty
