The Auto Racing Products (ARP) Digital Stretch Gauge is the industry standard for engine builders who demand absolute accuracy. Featuring a high-quality billet aluminum body and a precision digital indicator, this tool allows you to measure bolt stretch in 0.0001-inch increments, ensuring your rod bolts are torqued to exact specifications rather than relying on inconsistent torque wrench readings.

Key Features and Benefits

• High-Precision Measurement: Digital indicator provides clear, accurate readings down to 0.0001 inches.
• Adjustable Design: Versatile length adjustment accommodates a wide variety of connecting rod bolt sizes.
• Durable Construction: Lightweight yet rugged billet aluminum body designed for frequent shop use.
• Reliability: Eliminate the guesswork of friction-based torque values for superior engine longevity.

Whether you are assembling a street performance engine or a professional-grade race motor, this stretch gauge is an essential addition to your toolkit. Proper bolt stretch is the only way to guarantee the clamping force required for high-RPM operation. Don't leave your engine's integrity to chance; invest in the measurement tools that professionals trust. Find this and other precision engine tools at GGCRACING.
