Exactly. And – to really adjust it correctly, I make certain that the cam lobe is facing exactly away from the rocker mating surface when I make the adjustment. This does require more turns of the crankshaft– but makes for a better job. Just make all the valves have the same tension- that’s important because you don’t want the relative clearances to change when the engine heats up.
