CompCams did the same setup on their Spintron a while back....we got to see it in a training class while at Comp in Tennessee....it showed some serious bounce/rotation with a double spring however, and then perfect control with a 918 Beehive spring! So their whole propaganda about having enough spring pressure is kind of deceiving....you can over-do it! Very cool video though! Comp's didn't include the valve drop images.

Although it's not ideal...yes, they do rotate in many setups. As do the valves and retainers...and piston rings too while we're making a list
