You could get a pretty good idea if you used an electronic torque wrench to measure the torque as you did your final turn. I'm not sure the number would be good for anything, but it could be done.

The way I test a 6.4 injector is: First, remove the valve cover. Second, grab a 48 oz ball peen hammer. Third, whack the everlovin' shit out of the top of the injector, if it breaks then it's bad, if it doesn't break then it's good to go.
I'm in a weird mood this A.M.
you must have learned this procedure at a GM dealer, tap testing PCMs in the 90s.

Total torque value?

I agree with you. I was just trying to answer the question in the original post. If you want to know what your final torque is when stop tightening the fastener, then an electronic torque wrench could tell you. Just for giggles we tried it on my wife's car when torquing the heads. If I remember correctly the procedure called for 45 ft/lbs then 60 degrees three times. Upon reaching the final 180 degrees on each fastener The digital torque wrench displayed about the same number every time. Kinda cool to do it, but it's just as easy to do it correctly, especially with an electronic wrench that does degrees as well.
Anyone else not trust them? I still mark all my bolts at 12 O clock and check them for final position when I'm done.
