Right - my problem has always been being really confident that I am measuri=
ng the same bolt the second time. I tried once marking them with different=
colors of nail polish. That didn't work at all, for reasons that will be =
obvious to some. I'll come up with some way of doing it. Replacing them a=
t intervals is painfully expensive and probably needless. I replace them w=
hen my gut tells me that they don't feel right when I'm torqueing them - li=
ke I really expect to get that final torque wrench click, but instead I get=
another 90 degrees of twist on the wrench before I get the click. I need =
a better system than that :-)

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 w=
ith 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 meas=
ure the installed length and then remeasure once disassembled. If they "sh=
rink" as much as the stretch dimension used for installation, they should s=
till 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 m=

Mine are about 16 years old.
