I think I understand how to accomplish the comment,
"Use checking clearance of 0.010" at camshaft (when using a degree wheel)."
but if someone would detail what this means and how it's accomplished I
appreciate that you will.

Here is what I understand. Using a degree wheel disregard the first .010
movement of the dial indicator when checking at the cam for lift. Once that
initial .010 movement is read then set the cam at the 33 degree BTDC
location.

Am I correct?
