Total valve lift?

When figuring total valve lift using the cam card, does one subtract the hot lash setting from total to achieve the actual lift?

Yes, a$$uming that the rocker arm ratio is accurate.

Yes. I would still check assmebled. I have not seen any that where exactly dead on what they should be. Slight difference in rocker ratio I guess is why. Plus always good to check for accuracy and cost nothing.JMO

On a new build I set lash at Zero and check P/V if its good at zero lash I know its good at "X" lash
