I can't see how you would get coil bind with a TR-230 and .015" off the heads.A combo like that would normally require stock length pushrods.

Just my opinion, but short pushrods are just going to remove any and all lifter preload you already have and put you at zero valve lash.

I got a feeling someone set the spring installed height wrong.

I had a similar experence after a 3 angle valve job and a .008 cut. The valve job set the valves deeper into the heads and I had to shim the rockers up.
