sup guys, broke a valve spring the other day and wanted to see if anyone would let me borrow their valve spring tool to change it out real quick. This is for a ls1 and im located by the sawgrass mall, lmk.

cylinder 3 i believe, its the 3rd spring in.

tim's valve spring tool. i helped a friend once, but 1st time doing on my own vehicle where ill be doing everything pretty much. ive done all the work on my car(bolt ons,clutch, h/c, nitrous kit, tuning) so i dont think this will be an issue. gonna just change the one for now and if any others break soon ill replace the whole set. would i be able to use locks from a stock ls1 head/springs? i have my stock ls1 heads still assembled, but didnt plan on losing/breaking any

It depends- what springs are you replacing? another beehive style spring with stock retainer- yes
