I did mean valve *spring* binding. Thanks for pointing that out.

Most competition valve springs have a more open winding and
come as dual (inner and outer) springs to prevent the springs
from binding.

  Mike:
       Sure you're not referring to "valve spring crush" rather than valves
binding?  If you are going to reach  around .500" then you might want to
look at the anti coil-bind dual springs either the C-AEA526  or C-AEA527.  I
bought a set after I snapped a rocker.
