Doubt it. First thing my Chilton's manual says is 'remove engine from car'. I'm sure someone's done it by removing driveshaft, removing transmission cross member, turning engine to a specific cylinder to align the crank (like the balancer mark at 6:00), jack the engine up 6-8 inches or so. Might just as well pull the engine.
Don't mean to sound flippant but have you tried another gauge? Maybe a 0-100 lb just to see?
