That is not the case with any variant of the ARP 2000 rod bolt that I've heard of, there is arguement over the ARP 625 rod bolt, with some claiming it can give an excessively distorted bore (and may have issues with corrosion resistance). Although IMO I think the the bore distortion is more to do with the torque the bolts are tightened up to.

M power use ARP 2000 bolts (of varying variants over time), see more here - https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1723591 , there's more or less a conclusion on page 3.
