...thanks Dean, my missunderstanding. Apparently ACL "should" have an extra clearance variant as well, will check if the shop made the same mistake.

Also, one of the shops claim they always reuse the OEM bolts, "since 30 years and on plenty S65/S85". These guys pay like $650 for a set of ARP so.... All I read says never to reuse the stretch bolts but as this shop is reputable Im getting confused. Comments?
(sorry to keep drain you guys on info but thankful)
Helms, I watched a DIY video on rod bearings that I believe you posted actually.. SYT SHADOW did the video. When they are talking about the bolts, they say the reason to use the ARP bolts is because of the torque procedure.. It was made very clear that they are 100X easier to install properly over OEM bolts.
