It shouldn't need to be as accurate as that. The base circle *should* exist for a minimum of 180 degrees at the heel, and probably slightly more than that. Which means that anywhere in that 180 degrees *should* give the same, maximum clearance. But as individual cams will show, the greatest clearance can exist over a much smaller rotational angle than that, and in any position. It's that you need to find, on your cam, and adjust to.

The crane cams method just about guarantees that the lifter for
the valve you are adjusting is resting on the base circle:
