It would seem to me that a paper clip would be overly thick for checking
coil bind. As long as you can detect some sort of coil clearance at
full valve opening, I would think that is a good indicator. If you use
a .010 feeler gauge, (same clearance as your valves have) I would think
that would be enough.
