Prescale or "pressure paper" is the only way I'm aware of that gives an indicator of similarities between clamping between torque plates or a block and cylinder head.

I have heard of the NASCAR shops measuring stud stretch. Has to take a while on a V8 and not suggesting we go there on these motors.

Measuring stud stretch is sop in a good automotive build. My suggestion was born of the fact that Measuring stretch isn't a viable procedure.

Some shops would have their torque plates cast, point is, this is all pretty important and you can actually measure it.
Get the principles down first, they'll never change.
