degreeing a cam / Intake Centerline

Hi Guys, i´m a newbie regarding cam degreeing, the ones i did before went in without checking. With my new engine i want to do it right the first time and try to degree the cam to confirm the Intake center line.

I got a comp XR286HR cam, the specs say 106° Intake center line. Build a positive stop, bought a degree wheel / dial indicator and did some testing. Set the degree wheel to TDC.

The instructions say to rotate the engine normal direction until it reaches max. Lift, set the dial to zero. Then move engine backwards until indicator reads .100". Turn engine forward til indicator reads .05" before max. lift - Record the wheel reading (62° in my case).

Then go on rotating the engine until indicator reads .05" on the closing side of max. lift - Record the wheel reading (150° in my case).

Then add these numbers and divide by 2: = centerline. 62+150=212/2=106°

Seems very good so far, exactly what it should be.

But since i have no pushrods for the engine i took the measurements directly from the lifter. My question is: is something wrong with my procedure or is it the same when you put the dial indicator at the lifter instead of the valve retainer?

Thanks for any input!
