no, you can back up for the ramp side measurements, just make sure to go far enough past where you're going to measure from that you've taken the slack out of the chain when you reverse directions and go clockwise again. After finding and verifying TDC and setting the pointer/wheel to "0" I run the engine clockwise to max valve opening. I back it up counter-clockwise maybe half a turn down on the dial indicator (180 degrees) and then rotate clockwise to 50 degrees before max lift, record the reading, and continue on to 50 degrees after. From there adding the two numbers and dividing by two gets you the lobe center.
