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
