service manual valve clearance measurement

When you do the 180 degree method the adjacent valve is pushing up on the cam and skewing it in the journal clearance. Checking the valves using the 180 degree method typically results in measuring more clearance than will be the case if using the factory method.

Just to be perfectly clear, doing it with the factory method results in taking measurements of some valves at one cam lobe orientation and others at a different orientation, and that's not a problem, because the whole point is just to have a measurement of the clearance at the base circle with minimum pressure on the cam?
