that's what the GT6 has. TR6 with the stroker crank may be different.
I agree with you, they seem tiny, but I'e been running them for six =
years with no issues. Carillo tells me they are re-usable, though I =
never thought to record the installed measurements and check against =
them a year or two later.
What I will do when I pull the bottom end apart in a week or two is to =
measure the installed length and then remeasure once disassembled. If =
they "shrink" as much as the stretch dimension used for installation, =
they should still be good, i.e., they have not been stretched beyond the =
elastic range.

The most cost effective thing you can do to your engine is spend a lot =
of money on a set of Carrillo's!
Mine are about 16 years old.
