I think Compression Stroke is the key words here!

The piston has to be at the TDC position on the compression stroke, then
the exact point of adjustment may vary by a fe degrees according to cam
and lifter wear. The way to find the exact position is to go to tdc and
set th clearence, Then move the crank back a little and check it again.
If it changes then re-adjust and then move it back the other way and look
for a different reading . The point you are looking for is the area
around TDC with the biggest clearence, remember to do this with a dead
cold engine. Greg LAPD 850
