Default Valve spring compression tool

Does anybody have a valve spring compression tool that will work on an ls3? I'm doing a cam swap on my 08 c6 and need it this weekend and I'll pay to borrow it.Thanks guys. 281-691-1621

Comp cams has a really nice one, id may get to you too late for the weekend but we can sure try! Theirs is better than some of the others as you do not have to remove the rocker stand to change the springs AND it will compress LS3 springs on the heads without running into clearance issues and it will compress the LS7 springs due to their being no rocker stand and different rocker height compared to the valve tip.

And there are less pieces to lose!

I have the comp tool that does intake and exhaust springs, its adjustable for the offset rockers on LS3s. PM me if you are interested in borrowing, in cypress area, so not too far. (same tool coloradospeed posted)

Very good tool. We have used a few of them and this one seems to be the most versatile.
