Default What spring compressor?

My craftsman valve spring compressor (the old giant C style) doesn't seem to like the dual valve springs. Either I am getting weak in my old age, or this thing isn't strong enough for the task. What compressor should I be using? (heads are on the bench)

I agree, but for stock heads. I have the Crane and modified it to fit my AFR's as well. If you have after market heads it may need some work to make it fit correctly.

Look in the tool section. Someone from LS1Tech makes a great tool for a low price.
