Dennis, You asked: "...... how many degrees of rotation is typical from the Zero NO LOAD to a normal doors up position?" The answer to your question is 1/4. You also asked: "..... Is it possible to permanently distort the torsion bar by over torquing it to compensate for a week lift strut. How much rotation is TOO MUCH?" No. You would break your adjusting tool (ratchet, Allen key, etc.) long before you would break the torsion bar.
