Yer agreed with yep-boost. The reason I'm making a fuss about doing this right is because if you do do it "by eye" so to speak and your dialing in a cam there can be approx 6 degrees of crank movement without the piston going down at all. This is the period as the rod goes from compression to down stroke. As yep boost says just go off the mark if its JUST a non adjustable cam, but if your actually professionally getting lift and duration of the cam at a certain degree of the crank you need to do it right. In this case I'm guessing stick with dot A to dot B lol

seems like theres some confusion with what ive been told, thanx for your advice will look in to it..
