Default B18B valve adjustment- where to take the measurement?

I did search "b18b valve" and got all the specs I could ever need and all sorts of valve cover ****, but no thread about WHERE the measurement is taken.

The rocker arm U shapes over the valve stem head, so do I take the measurement between rocker arm and cam lobe?

BTW, when changing cylinders you have to crank the crank pulley over half a turn (cam pulley 1/4 turn).

Its used to bump the starter so that you can get the timing marks to line up.

Yea, you'll never get it exactly dead up using that method.

This will tell you pretty much everything you need to know to do a valve lash adjustment on your teg. I just did mine yesterday.

here are the proper clearances:

B18A
INTAKE: 0.006" - 0.007" (0.15mm - 0.19mm)
EXHAUST: 0.007" - 0.008" (0.17mm - 0.21mm)

B18B
INTAKE: 0.003" - 0.005" (0.08mm - 0.12mm)
EXHAUST: 0.006" - 0.008" (0.16mm - 0.20mm)

B18C
INTAKE: 0.006" - 0.007" (0.15mm - 0.19mm)
EXHAUST: 0.007" - 0.008" (0.17mm - 0.21mm)

well if I'm not mistaken, those numbers were taken from the Helm's manual...someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's where they came from.
