Default The best LSX valvespring tool!!

I used this three years ago and finally found who has it again as I'll hopefully be doing the LS1 build up again soon. This thing rocks and I did my valvesprings in my driveway using the TDC method and this tool. I think it took me a little over an hour with having a tech who worked for me start me off on the first pair. http://www.vincihighperformance.com/...L/DSCF0120.jpg
Couldn't be easier. I used vaseline on the keepers to hold them in place while releasing the springs. I do believe I wasn't aware of the valve stem seals being different, so you want to keep track of which are intake and which are exhaust.

I agree 100%, the Crane/Vinci spring compressor rocks!

The crane tool is the best, hands down. I got spring changes down to a science with it and it only takes me about 30 minutes by myself using the TDC method.
