Another cam degree question

It doesn't make a damn bit of difference what lash You set it to, the only thing that matters is to pick the precisely same mid-lift point on the way up, & on the way down. If You've found true TDC & zeroed the wheel, accurate readings recorded from the wheel are all You need. If You can centerline the cam in one engine, You can centerline any engine. A reliably consistant setup to accurately transfer the profile to linear motion for the indicator will make life easier...there are multiple ways, pick one & go with it.
