When upgrading rod bolts in my E46 M3 to ARP, a stretch gauge is needed. I show you how to use it and why it's used.

I did run into a slight problem with the ARP bolts, (totally my fault) I had to adjust the video in order to still provide you the information on the stretch gauge. I did send an oil sample to Blackstone laboratories and the results showed mostly normal levels, the iron showed slightly above average. No signs of excessive bearing wear. I hope you enjoy the video, Thank you for watching!
