Sorry guys, I have another tech question. I lost my auto math handbook so im turning to SM. How do you find out the clearence amount at which the intake valve fully opened comes to its closest point to the piston at TDC?

Take the clearence when the valve is seated and the piston is at TDC and subtract the distance that the valve travels(i.e. lift of cam) and that should be it????
