Default anyone have a valve spring compressor?

I'm soon going to be installing my 1.6 rockers and lt4 springs on my LT1, and I'm just seeing if anyone has a valve spring compressor that I would be able to borrow for the install. It will save me from spending $100 on that crane tool that I would probably use once. Thanks guys. I'm located in MA 20 minutes north of Boston.

I was in the same position you were in, didnt want to spend the money on the Crane tool, but I bought it anyways, after i was done with the swap, I put it forsale for like $85 on the boards ls1tech and camaroz28.com and had tons of replies and sold it very quickly...I lost like 20$ on it, but its a worthwhile tool, trust me

Just a thought

99blancoSS rents out cam swap tools, which includes the crane tool, for like 50 bucks. That's what I did because like you, I figured I'd use it only once. Shoot him a PM, can't hurt to ask.

Awesome thanks. I'll have to figure out a time when I can do the install first, so I will let you know sometime. I wont be able to do it this weekend, so maybe I'll just wait till after you do your cam so that way I'm not holding you up with anything. I'm also pretty close to you in Reading.
