this was the approach I wanted to take last week when I did my VANOS, but I did not have a solid way of measure and I only had my reference pictures, so I followed the TIS method and "torque by feel", which I still don't feel 100% happy with. what I did is that I torqued one bolt to 13NM on the intake side with the torque wrench (which fits) and then apply force to it to move it about 1/8 of a turn, then cheque torque with the torque wrench to see if that made it and it did, this was just to build some muscle memory and I kept that bolt as my control to try and be as consistent as possible, in the end, I think I got it right, but never like with an actual torque wrench.
Then I just loosened and torque my control bolt on the intake side so it was spot on.
At the end I sort of regret not using a crowfoot adapter and adjust the torque wrench by 2-3% down and torque them out, however it is now back together so it is what it is.
