Idaho- I'd be very surprised if someone has a method of torquing all the ladder bolts (valve cover too). I torqued those I could and did the rest by feel by slightly untightening a properly torqued bolt, retightening with another tool, then checking it with the torque wrench for accuracy. Using that same pressure, yeah not perfect, I tightened those bolts that had minimal clearance. A standard socket and ratchet wouldn't fit in all cases, so I also used a couple of specialty tools (home depot) that work well in tight spaces. I share your concern, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.....
My experience - I finished swapping out a shim yesterday. Let me just say that I am ordering that specialty tool for times when you need to pull the camshaft. I will also make one of the tools Rocket Scientist designed for those times when you just need to change a shim or two. My mechanical abilities were getting questioned by about the 10th try with the specialty tool trying to get the timing right. WTF? Afterwards, I searched the forums and found that other people have had troubles with that too, so I didn't feel quite as bad. I think if you have some chain stretch that it's difficult to get the gears lined up right. Afterwards, I threw away my print out of Warp's specs on this tool and my plan to make one- I am not a "journeyman tool maker" and can imagine the trouble you'd have if you were off just a mm in your recreation of that tool. My advice is to buy the **** thing, which I am ordering now.
Thanks to everyone on this forum for sharing your mechanical expertise and for your "emotional support."
