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.

I got it now. Thanks Jody. I'll try that on Tuesday when I get to head back out to the shop. So is that what they are doing when they mention in the article to go to 60-70 degrees and then back to 50 degrees?
