I was refering to the method. If you apply a measured 100ft.lbs to a fasterner, that fastener can end up being anything from 75 to 125ft.lbs (+/-25%). Depends on lubes, what the nuts, bolts and threaded holes are made of, temperature, etc. THEN there is the question of the accuracy of the torque wrench. I have a Snap-On torque wrench which when set to 38ft.lbs delivers only 25ft.lbs, I learned that the hard way.

Most things are angle torqued these days, it's a vast improvement. If you fit your old rods with new ARP bolts, or buy new aftermarket rods, then using the stretch method is the only way to do it properly, my 2nd choice is angle torque, then torque wrench is last choice. Bigger bolts like head and mains are less of a problem, but I always ensure that all take the same angle to reach torque.
