New Spring Compressor Just got some info from Crane Cams the other day, they've got a new valve spring compressor out for the LS-1!
It's really neat, it lets you change both springs on the cylinder at once, and you always have one hand free to grab the locks with when you're using it. It works with all the stock diameter single and dual springs that are out there for LS-1. Looking at the pics, it's genius in it's simplicity! Can't wait to try it out on my next LS-1 project!

It does look very stout and durable, however with 2 bolts + a stud and a nut to install with each set of springs it also looks like a pain in the rear and time consuming. I just got the CC valve spring compressor tool for my BBC and it's the ****. It only does one spring at a time, but only uses one stud/bolt to connect it, it locks into place with the spring compressed, is easy to work around etc. I haven't yet used it on my LS1 however.
