rod bolt install?

I'm replacing stock bolts w/ ARP bolts & have a bit of info regarding torque procedures.Everyone seems to be in the stretch gauge camp,which I'm also inclined to follow.

In the package of rod bolts there are stretch #'s for bolts,but there is also another procedure for torqing the rod bolts.
It states"torque to 35 ftpds,loosen,torque to 35 ftpds,loosen,torque to 35 ftpds,then check length with mic for appropriate length(measure before & after).

Anyone ever try this way or opinions on this?

Jeremy,Do the rod bolts if you can.CHEAP INSURANCE!
