If you choose to degree at the cam instead of the valve anyhow, then you have to use the centerline approach where you come within say 0.100" of max lift and record the crank position both before and after the max lift point. The cam's current centerline phasing will be exactly between those two figures.

.050 figures are lifter rise, not valve lift, never has been valve lift.
