I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. I built my 4 liter with my own two hands.
You're telling me you can get to these rods, replace the bearings, reinstall the bolts, and measure stretch with a caliper, while it's in THIS case?

With a set of Pauter rods it appears that you could get them out. Based on the set I put in my RSA there was no stretch measurement as the bolts were threaded into the rods. For a rod with bolts and nuts that measurement might not happen.

We're talking about replacing these with new factory bolts torqued to factory specs? No you cannot get a micrometer in there to measure the bolt stretch of the used/originals. We never re use bolts like maybe you were doing? We always use new rod bolts. This has been done for years on 964 case engines by many engine builders. Nevertheless it's ok I think I understand that somewhere down the line we have obviously peed in your coffee cup or something so you are not keen on us and that's ok well move on. I was just trying to help and I'm not saying what he should and shouldn't do... Just saying he doesn't have to if he's changing to new bolts.

Also, bolt stretch is the prefered method of measuring tension for rod fasteners. The problem with torque is that it relies on the tension/torque relationship, which is highly influenced by the lubricant, cleanliness, and quality of the threads. Torque doesn't matter - what matters is the tension that is achieved by the application of torque. http://arpinstructions.com/instructions/204-6004.pdf
In any case, I haven't attacked your shop or shortcomings of your products, so lets just keep it professional.

Alex, if you are truly curious, and not just trying to attack me, I installed ARP rod bolts when I built my engine.

I did the same to my car. Porsche dealer (was in Dallas on track day) re- installed the pulley and belt, checked the engine. $900
This was Nov 18 months ago. Zero issue since :-))
