Which supplier has the correct APR connecting rod bolts of 2.0 rods?

AirCooled doesn't carry them.

CB Performace has APR bolts but I don't know if these the correct/best ones.

At high revs, the stock rods do stretch some... If they do you get higher CR due to a tighter deck height.

If they stretch too much they become two pieces.

Okay... my terminology must be off.

Stretching = putting undersized (ID) bushings into a rod, drilling them offset so the effective rod length is longer.

Slightly longer rod length pushes the piston closer to the head, in effect, increasing CR.

Now I remember where I heard about this... Waynes book.
