The spec depends on which rod bolts you have. Rod bolts don't have a torque spec - they have a stretch spec, which is measured with a rod bolt stretch gauge.
You also need to replace the rod bolts unless you know how much they were stretched upon installation and you measured them before and after removing them to ensure that they haven't permanently deformed. A new set of ARP 2000 bolts is ~$70 IIRC.

That very well could be, And also why ARP says to torque the rod bolt, loosen, torque, loosen and then torque.
But if the ARP engineers thought that the torque method would not work, I think they would have never put it in the instruction sheet to begin with. May have also said to properly fasten the rod bolts a stretch gauge must be used.
